In our recent trip to Quebec City, we had the pleasure of spending an afternoon at this great museum. We could have spent more time (for art lovers, you can easily spend 4 hours with a nice lunch in between). We were lucky that Manif D’Art 9 (La Biennale de Québec) was going on, taking over a big part of the Pavillon Pierr Lassonde, and we thoroughly explored that amazing collective show. The contemporary art and First Nation art sections of the permanent collection are very interesting and engaging. The pavilions with modern art and ancient art collections are also wonderful, and we hope to spend more time in those during our next trip. Top-notch museum. It was the best of the attractions during our visit.

4.5 based on 13 reviews
Step into this Regency cottage built in 1849 and tour the house, its English garden and gorgeous rose beds. The Maison Henry-Stuart is one of the few remaining examples of a characteristic style of residential architecture popular in the 19th century. Today, this classified heritage property is operated by Action patrimoine and has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada. Envelop yourself in the refined ambiance typical of Quebec bourgeois society in the early 1900s. The authentic interior reflects the way of life of the Stuart sisters, whose home it was from 1918 to 1987. Before you leave, join us for tea on the wide veranda, a peaceful interlude in the heart of the lively Montcalm district.

We arrived to take the train to Montreal from here. It’s a history rich, beautiful building with modern amenities. So nice to see a functioning train station that’s clean and welcoming. Recommended.

This would be the place people would go to worship. The church has been transformed into a library that is super modern and so amazing. It is very near Rue St-Jean and still in Old Town, you it is right near many things in Quebec City that you will want to visit.

Built in 1910, stained glass window and marble plaques adorn this beautiful expression of Neo-Gothic architecture. Truly a jewel for those who love architecture.
