Mission
The MUMAQ, the Musée des métiers d’art du Québec, attests to the expression of a unique and creative people.
Reflecting the cultural diversity of Québec, from Nouvelle-France to today, it highlights what can be achieved by working with one’s heart and hands, for the benefit of the community.
In this way, we acknowledge the importance of preserving and sharing the traditional know-how of artisans to assert our identity. Here, we present an evolving art inspired by our heritage and inscribed in our vision of the future.
At MUMAQ, we shape the timeless.
