Art in the City

Colorful Quebec City

We told you about the performing arts we enjoyed in Quebec — the circus acts, the opera, the ghost tour led by actors — but the whole city is filled with art. At every turn, it is possible to see something imaginative or colorful or both!

The Chateau Frontenac (in the pictures above) displays art in every nook and cranny, from what we could see. Sculptures, painting, topiaries, jewelry, designer clothing — it’s amazing! We didn’t even stay there, so take time to tootle around the lobby and shops on a trip to QC to see genuine works of art from around the world.

All over town, beautiful monuments represent historic and cultural events in Quebec. The photo just above is the parliament building and gardens with one of the many statues of prime ministers of the past.

It’s not unusual to find art installations in local parks or on street corners in Quebec. We found these on our stroll to the theater to see the opera.

Wherever you go in Quebec, just remember to really GET INTO the art and you will have loads of fun! We promise!
