Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Wondering what to do before the holiday marathon starts in earnest ? How about an outing to a museum, a jaunt around Magog on a Fat Bike, trying out an unusual winter sport or an evening excursion with the family ?
Sherbrooke’s Fine Arts Museum is currently showing an exhibition entitled La révolution Borduas : espaces et liberté featuring the work of one of Quebec’s most famous artists. Bourduas died 58 years ago, but this collection of paintings and photographs, some of which have seldom been shown in public, still speak to us today.
Until March 24, 2019 | Musée des Beaux-arts in Sherbrooke
