Presentation of several temporary exhibitions on various themes in addition to 3 permanent exhibitions to be visited throughout the year.

Temporary exhibitions:

It’s Circus Time! - Until April 16, 2023

It’s Circus Time! is dedicated to the evolution of the circus arts in Québec—from pioneering, like the famous Louis Cyr, to street performers, the first acrobat families, and modern-day companies whose renown has spread beyond our borders. The exhibition places a special emphasis on seven Québec-based troupes: Les 7 Doigts, Flip Fabrique, Machine de Cirque, Cirque Alfonse, Cirque Éloize, Cavalia, and Cirque du Soleil.
Through generous loans from some fifteen lenders, the exhibition features about 150 objects as well as video, photos and interactives. Visitors also get to peek behind the scenes of the circus, exploring the art form’s various disciplines and life on tour. A show zone allows visitors to relive emotional high points in the Québec circus milieu!

Murat Yazar – Ararat – After the Flood - Until April 16, 2023

Lys Arango – The river ran black - Until April 16, 2023

Jacques Graf-Les habitant-e-s - Until April 16, 2023

Arthur Villeneuve Far from naïve!  

This exhibition traces the career of the painter Arthur Villeneuve and makes a return on several events of his life.
