Musée du Bas-Saint-Laurent
A regional art and ethnography museum in Rivière-du-Loup, known for its large collection of 20th-century photographs of rural life.
The museum is in downtown Rivière-du-Loup. Its collection includes contemporary Quebec art and more than 200,000 old photographs documenting rural life in the Lower St. Lawrence region in the 20th century. Rotating exhibitions cover local history, folk traditions and contemporary art. It is a small museum, and a visit takes about an hour; admission is around CAD 10. It works well on a rainy day or paired with the waterfall park and the headland. Some exhibits have French-only labels.
