Musée d'art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul

The Musée d'art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul is a contemporary art museum in downtown Baie-Saint-Paul devoted to art from 1947 to the present and the only museum in eastern Quebec entirely dedicated to contemporary art. Built on the site of the former Le Laurentien cinema, it emerged from a mid-1980s fundraising campaign and opened in 1992 in a Pierre Thibault-designed building that won a provincial architectural prize. Under Françoise Labbé's leadership, it hosted major exhibitions and strengthened its profile before gaining official museum status in 2008. Its year-round programs, annual international symposium, and collection of works by more than 500 artists make it a major cultural centre for Charlevoix.
