| artist’s rendering of new pavilion |
One example will be Jean-Paul Riopelle’s massive 40.2-metre-long work, Tribute to Rosa Luxembourg (1992), which will be featured in a passageway between the old and new pavilions.
By almost doubling the square footage of the museum, more room is created to showcase the museum’s Inuit collection and its collections of decorative and design objects.
The new pavilion is sited very visibly along Quebec City’s Grande Allée, and it has a 250-person auditorium for use by museum partners. Designed by the prestigious Rotterdam-based firm Office for Metropolitan Architecture, the extension will cost more than $100 million.

AHA and Urban Sketchers member Jane Hannah alerts us to an event this Sunday, February 28. She writes:
On February 28th we will meet at the main entrance of La Grande Bibliothèque when the library opens at 10 am (475, boulevard De Maisonneuve Est). This a grand place for drawing spaces, people, views from the windows, etc. Drawing is permitted inside the library. At noon we can go out in the neighbourhood for lunch and then sketch some more in the library. At 3:30. pm we’ll meet back at the main entrance, find a coffee shop and have a review of sketches.
For more information about the group, please visit their website.
The Grande Bibliothèque is well worth a visit. Membership is free to all residents of Quebec. An audioguide is available in English and French to orient you to the space and its collection. A wide variety of seating can be found, including an area that provides a vista of urban landscape, complete with balconies, alleys, clotheslines and garages.
Until August 28, reservations are available to experience The Library at Night, “a virtual exploration of 10 of the world’s most fascinating libraries. It was designed by the Ex Machina production company and its artistic director, multidisciplinary artist Robert Lepage, based on an original idea by BAnQ.“
More information about this experience is available here.

Thank you to AHA member Monique Verdier who reminds us about The Artist Project, an initiative by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. Season 5 is scheduled to begin soon, but the website allows you to access the first four seasons with a simple click on the MENU.
From March 2015 to June 2016, we will invite 120 artists—local, national, and global—to choose individual works of art or galleries that spark their imaginations. In this online series, artists reflect on what art is, what inspires them from across 5,000 years of art, and in so doing, they reveal the power of a museum and The Met. Their unique and passionate ways of seeing and experiencing art encourage all museum visitors to look in a personal way.
