Musée de Charlevoix
A regional museum in La Malbaie, known for its collection of Quebec folk art and the history of summer tourism in Charlevoix.
The museum is in Pointe-au-Pic, La Malbaie. Its collection includes Charlevoix folk art such as wood carvings, hooked rugs and naive paintings, along with records of the holidaymaking history of wealthy Americans and Canadians who came to the area from the 19th century onward. The permanent exhibition explores how local people have related to the river and the mountains, and there are temporary exhibitions too. It is a modest museum, and a visit takes about an hour. It is on the way to the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu, so the two can easily be visited together.
Opening hours
Daily approx. 09:00–17:00 in summer; Tue–Sun in other seasons (see official website)
