Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke
A fine arts museum housed in a 19th-century Eastern Townships Bank building, with works by artists from the Eastern Townships and Quebec.
The Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke occupies the former Eastern Townships Bank building on Dufferin Avenue in the old town. Built in 1877, the structure is itself a historic example of Second Empire architecture. The collection of about 5,500 works focuses on painting and sculpture from the Eastern Townships and Quebec, and includes an outstanding collection of naïve art. The museum also regularly hosts contemporary exhibitions. Admission is about C$15, and it is closed on Mondays. A visit takes about one hour and can be combined with the mural route.
