College and University

We offer themed tours for college and university students. As they interact with our guides, your group will build skills in observing, questioning, and appreciating works of art. They will also discover how historical and sociological factors influence art and its creation.

Duration: 1:30
Capacity: up to 50 (for larger groups, staggered departures are possible)

Join our guides for an immersive journey through the final two decades of creation by artist Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002)—a time of total artistic emancipation, bold experimentation, and unwavering commitment. From the monumental Tarot Garden to her feminist, environmental, and social causes, discover how the artist blurred the lines between art and life, dream and reality, while turning joy into a powerful strategy of resistance.

  • A visit to the exhibition on Niki de Saint Phalle in front of L'Arbre de la liberté

Duration: 1:30
Capacity: up to 60 (three groups of 20)
Languages: French and English

Who are we? The Us. Our Collections guided tour invites you to discover our Musée and its community. Our collections, which feature works from the earliest days of the French colony to today, tell fascinating stories of Québec’s land, its history, and its collective identity. The tour takes you through the Pierre Lassonde Pavilion and its spaces, giving you the chance to enjoy art from every era, marvel at innovative architecture, and ponder what it means to be a modern-day museum.  

In conjunction with the permanent exhibitions at Pierre Lassonde Pavilion and the Us exhibition.
