About

The mission of the Musée des maîtres et artisans du Québec is to highlight the ingenuity and creativity of the creators and artisans of the handmade object made in Quebec, in its traditional and contemporary form. The Musée des maîtres et artisans du Québec collects the works of craftspeople from all periods (past and present) chosen from the continuum that goes from the production of domestic craft items to works made by master craftspeople, as well as unique functional objects or objects from small series.

One of the best ways to learn about all the museum’s activities is to consult our annual reports. You will find a complete report of each service year after year.
