Art is expressed in many different forms in Charlevoix, where the local splendour inspires ideas and stirs the imagination. This effervescence feeds the artwork on display at the many museums found in the area. Each is a portal to the depths of human creativity.

At the Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul, different artforms proudly represent the breadth of the region’s cultural heritage. The Musée de Charlevoix transports visitors to the past, with its four exhibition spaces acting as guardians of the rich local history. It also offers a boutique filled with art, family activities, restaurants, nearby accommodations, and a terrace with a view of the river.

For more of an aquatic experience, the Musée maritime de Charlevoix exhibits pieces of the area’s maritime history. Located in a former shipyard, visitors are immersed in the story of wooden schooners and coastal shipping on the St. Lawrence River. There are also four boats, as well as mountain trails, a boutique, exhibits, rest areas, and an array of fun activities for all ages.
