The official opening of the new Pierre Lassonde pavilion, the fourth building of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ) complex, on Friday June 24, 2016. A symbolic date to inaugurate a world-class pavilion which celebrates Québec art and artists.

On June 24, 25 and 26, the MNBAQ offers 3 days of free festivities and the numerous activities

- On-site activities
- A medium-length film shown continuously on the architecture of the new building
- Cocktail-hour culinary experiences by
Marie-Chantal Lepage
- Live evening entertainment with both a classical and a popular flavour

To mark the inauguration on June 24, 2016, the Québec national holiday, a participative artistic experience conceived and staged by the playwright and theatre director Alexandre Fecteau will take place on Cartier Avenue and the Grande Allée. One can already picture this extraordinary open-air market whose stalls and kiosks will become by turns outdoor exhibition galleries, dance floors and even spaces for theatrical and musical performances. Visual artists, actors and vendors will merge as participants experience memorable personal and poetic adventures.
