Major Exhibitions

Musée de la civilisation

In Other Words, Québec
From May 30, 2024. Through the thousand and one encounters that have forged Québec over time, the Museum invites you to discover this permanent exhibition where historical events specific to the evolution of Québec society will be presented, but also contemporary issues, which it faces.
 

Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec 

Helen McNicoll - An Impressionist journey
From June 20, 2024 to January 5th, 2025, the Museum is offering an exhibition that features more than 60 works exploring themes of female independence, risk-taking, friendship, and women's freedom. Despite the restrictive norms imposed on women of her social class in the early 1900s, this little-known Canadian artist distinguished herself by her love of travel and her exploration of new horizons. 

Events to come

Carnaval de Québec 
From February 7 to 16, 2025. The event recently announced the artists who will be at the heart of their festive musical evenings.

More New Ideas

Strom Spa Nordique
A new guided meditation workshop (duration 15 minutes) will be offered by the establishment from November 2024, free of charge to spa guests several times a day on Fridays and Saturdays. This workshop will combine: cardiac coherence, mindfulness meditation and aromatherapy. Another nice new feature, the Nord restaurant is now open to the public.

Promenade-Fleuve
The MRC of Portneuf offers a distinctive experience of discovering the Portneuvois territory and its diverse landscapes by connecting the six village centers and marked routes along the St. Lawrence River. This route aims to inform and raise awareness among walkers on various aspects (tides, preservation of sensitive environments, vulnerable species, etc.) and to interpret the landscapes and different points of interest located along the route. 

Coming up in the Next Few Years

Le Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec

New Exhibition Space Dedicated to Riopelle
In 2025, the new space will be open to visitors and will house the largest public collection of works by Jean-Paul Riopelle in the world. The newexhibitionlocation will overlook the St. Lawrence River, a beautiful way to highlight the beauty of the works of the Québec painter and to highlight his strong connection with nature. 

Musée de la civilisation

  • New Exhibition Dedicated to the Titanic
    From May 15 to November 23, 2025, the public will be able to admire objects that belonged to members of the crew and the people who traveled on board (jewelry, clothing, everyday objects and archives). The museum promises an extremely touching and exclusive Canadian exhibition on the construction of the ship and the organization of life on board. Nearly 200 treasures will be presented and highlighted inside reconstructions of spaces that made up the so-called unsinkable liner. 
  • Crowds: Humans in Interaction
    Dates to come. The subject of much criticism, the crowd has often been perceived in the collective imagination as a strange, even disturbing creature. Drawing on the most recent principles of interdisciplinary research, the exhibition intends to deconstruct the negative image that has been associated with it for too long.

Aloha Complex

From fall 2025, AlohaSurf will be installed within the Aloha Complex, an entertainment space bringing together a multitude of activities (surfing, virtual golf center, training center) allowing you to surpass yourself while having fun. A restaurant-pub space with a view of the wave will also be set up in a modern, bright and tropical atmosphere.
