The MNBAQ’s expansion project included the creation of the Pierre-Lassonde Pavilion, an ambitious extension designed to increase the museum’s exhibition space and strengthen its cultural influence, both locally and internationally. The expansion increased the exhibition capacity from 5.8% to 10%, a standard in the museum sector. The pavilion’s architecture, unique in Quebec City, plays a crucial role in attracting world-class visitors and exhibitions, as it is located at the entrance to the capital’s most prestigious street, significantly increasing the museum’s visibility.
