Manif d’art 9 – The Québec City Biennal
Small Between the Stars, Large Against the Sky
The MNBAQ is joining forces for the second time with Manif d’art by presenting the collective exhibition of the Québec City Biennial.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
Solar Equation
After Germany, Australia, England and South Korea, the Canadian premiere of Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s installation Solar Equation affords the MNBAQ an opportunity to focus on current affairs through reflection on the ecological and philosophical nature and future of our planet.
White Mirage
Whether or not we appreciate it, winter is an integral part of what we are. The exhibition will assemble 70 works illustrating this mythic, magnified winter.
Murmures
Family Gallery
The Murmures exhibition invites children to discover their inner architect. The Family Gallery has been transformed into a creation workshop that includes a scale model of the MNBAQ.
Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?
The exhibition is named after a major work by Jean McEwen, which will be presented in the introduction. These existential questions focus on our identity and invite us to examine it differently.

Imagining
350 ans de pratiques artistiques au Québec
In this room, visitors will see an artist’s studio—that of Napoléon Bourassa—a political space and a religious space that, taken together, show the many forms assumed by art practices associated with commemoration.
