This is a chance for young people to connect authentically with art. Each visit is a new opportunity for discussion, discovery, and emotion. In addition to discovering the unique architecture of the Pierre Lassonde Pavilion, they’ll get to develop their critical thinking skills by sharing their thoughts on topics related to the key works in our collection. Students will learn about paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts and design objects in this tour, which is available in French or English.

Get to know the art of Annie Baillargeon, Dan Brault, and Jean-Robert Drouillard and discover how creation can be translated into everyday life. Our guides will introduce your students to these three Québec artists and a selection of their most inspiring works. Through exclusive videos shot in their studios and in the Musée’s storerooms, the artists share concrete insight into their lives, their sources of inspiration, and their artistic approach. This unconventional approach allows students to interact with works from our collections and form opinions on very relevant subjects!

The tour is followed by a craft workshop.

With the striking Hyperrealistic Sculpture exhibition, we encourage students to examine disturbingly realistic sculptures with a critical eye. Both familiar and strange, these human figures act as alter egos that reflect our natures. What do they reveal about us, our society, and the human condition? Our accessible and engaging philosophical approach will guide students to reflect on the major questions raised by these works crafted by international artists such as Ron Mueck, Duane Hanson, John DeAndrea, Maurizio Cattelan, and Québec artists like Stanley Février and Karine Payette.
