DONATION FROM THE MUSÉE DES BEAUX-ARTS DE SHERBROOKE
In 2025, faced with storage space constraints, the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke disposed of artworks from its collections, including some from its collection of naïve art. In this context, it offered numerous paintings to the MIANM, of which a total of 45 were accepted. This addition complements our collections and increases the number of artists represented in them. This exhibition of a select group of these artworks highlights the generosity of the Sherbrooke museum.
Chantal Sellan, Le bateau du bonheur, 1998
As part of this presentation, 21 artworks reflecting the variety of the MBAS donation are presented. This exhibition will continue until March 15th, 2026.
Welcome
Friends of Naive Art, you have landed at the right place. Whether a professional artist, a Sunday painter, a collector, a gallery operator, a researcher, an educator, a student or passerby, there is something new to stir your curiosity. A wind of another kind is blowing from the paintings of our featured artists. You will be hard pressed to discover how everyday life can become a philosophical quest.
The Collection
Around 850 art works, more than 300 artists, 34 countries, 5 continents! Is there some serious thinking in this naive form of expression? Playfulness can rightly be expected, but subtle questioning of an era or society? Are there strange relationships to your own concerns and whereabouts? Dreams, empathy, desire to better the world and this strong urge to travel into foreign lands and minds are all there, ready to challenge you, as seen in this animation showcasing the permanent Exhibition or our permanent collection .
Come visit us!
