A knowledgeable tour before a live demonstration of delicate copper sculpting by Albert Gilles' daughter. His widow was also in the showroom. It's more than a boutique. It is a lovely museum and well worth a visit.
Great place. Knowledge of a famous family who embeded their name in Canadian history and art. Pioneers since 1920. Originally from France. Church decorations.
Very interesting and fun place to take a look at. There is a small exhibition room which tells the story of Christ (I'm not a religious person so I didn't really understand the story), made by the founder of the business. There is a small workshop that let you to give copper art a try. It's very fun and interactive, and you are allowed to take it away with you as a souvenir. As for the collection, there are variety of items and antiques to purchase. Do check it out on the
Came here for a free tour after Montmorency Falls, it was great! Lots of beautiful copper art here, plus a whole set of religious panels of Jesus's life + death. Kids loved it too: they only charged C$8 for a lil copper piece for them to do on their own! Spent over 30 mins here between 2 bus loads of tourists (we drove on our own) but it wasn't too crowded.
Family run copper museum which showcases copper artwork. There's a small workshop where you are given a piece of copper sheet and you can create an art piece yourself after a live demonstration. Not all sections of the museum are open for photography. Time to tour the place and attending workshop together take a maximum time of an hour.
