Musée des métiers d'art du Québec

The Musée des métiers d’art du Québec (MUMAQ), located in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal, is a hidden gem for lovers of crafting and design that celebrates the skills and creativity of Quebec’s artisans. Founded in 1962 and housed in a Neo-Gothic church that was meticulously relocated from its original downtown site, the museum itself is a work of art.

Dedicated to preserving and sharing Quebec’s artisanal heritage, the MUMAQ offers a range of thematic exhibitions and educational. The museum’s mission is not only to honor traditional craftsmanship but also to foster a dialogue between communities, techniques, and eras. Visitors are invited to explore a rich collection that spans centuries and to reflect on the societal value of handmade artistry.
