Discover Inverness, the art foundry capital of Quebec

Are you fascinated by the meticulous work of art foundries? Then a stop in Inverness is a must! As the province’s national art foundry capital, Inverness has played a key role in promoting Quebec’s art bronze industry, partly due to the large concentrations of this noble metal found in the area. Start off your visit at the Musée du Bronze d’Inverness – Centre d’interprétation de la fonderie d’art , where you can learn all about the art foundry and even handle the artwork. Continue your tour at the Inverness open-air gallery, a unique natural site in Quebec, and admire more than 30 bronze sculptures and 10 heritage points of interest.
