I am not much of a fine arts person, or to rephrase, I am not someone who is not able to fully appreciate the vast majority of fine arts pieces. I know many fine arts pieces have a great deal of creativity and skill to create, but I hardly understand how that would speak to me, if that make sense. I went to the Quebec Museum of Fine Arts (known as the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec) to check out some fine arts pieces, but mostly to kill some time.
There were some modern art pieces (including seeing the torch for the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal) as well as some Indigenous carvings and art on the third floor. There were some more fine art pieces on the second floor to check out.
The feature exhibition on the first floor showcases the work of Niki de Saint Phalle, who is a 20th century artist known for her sculptures. I had no idea who she was (again, I am not well-versed in my art history), but apparently she is best known for designing and creating the Tarot Garden, which is a sculpture garden in Italy. I could use some more education.
Anyways, my pictures are here. Check them out. See if any of these art pieces resonate with you, and then you can go check out the museum in Quebec City.
