Exhibition: Haïti's Fabulous Culture

Until March 31, 2025

The Musée de Charlevoix presents an exhibition showcasing an important and previously unseen branch of its collection: some fifty large-scale paintings by masters of Haitian naive art. These self-taught painters deliver a vision of a dreamland, fabulous and verdant, a representation of this people with its joie de vivre and unique identity.

For these creators, painting becomes a medium with the power to convey evidence of everyday life as well as messages from the invisible worlds.
