Located in the museum district, in a magnificent heritage building in the heart of downtown, the Sherbrooke Museum of Fine Arts' mission is to preserve, discover and appreciate the undeniable richness of the fine arts of Quebec and the Eastern Townships. Offering a rich and varied program of exhibitions and activities for the whole family (creative workshop in the style of the artists in the collection, story in signed language, Art Hive, guided tour, outdoor activity From the footbridge at the Museum, Evening of thirst for expression in a 5@7 and +++!), formula, the MBAS offers a real foray into the fascinating world of visual arts and artistic creation. In addition to the permanent exhibition Couleurs Manifestes which highlights around fifty works from the collection, from Jean Paul Riopelle to Frederick Simpson Coburn (flagship artist of the Eastern Townships), there are also temporary exhibitions of high quality.
Along the Lac-des-Nations promenade (Sherbrooke), there is the outdoor exhibition Parcours Photo Sherbrooke. For this 9th edition, discover the photographic works of Karine Dezainde, René Bolduc and Geneviève Marois-Lefebvre produced as part of their micro-residency in the collections of Sherbrooke museums. History, natural sciences and fine arts come together to provide the public with a unique journey, at the border of these different disciplines. On display until the end of August 2024.
