Exhibition on Fresco Wall Art at Observatoire de la Capitale

Observatoire de la Capitale is devoting its east wall to a return visit by the exhibition Quand les murs racontent des histoires, a fascinating look at fresco wall art from near and afar.

First presented at Gabrielle-Roy Library in 2005, the exhibition has been updated and enriched by its original partner, Commission de la capitale nationale, through the addition of new frescoes that have appeared over the last three years in and around Greater Québec City.

The first part of the exhibition explores the history of frescoes around the world. The second part presents fresco murals from all over Québec and elsewhere with a special emphasis on wall art from Québec City and the surrounding area. A map identifies some fifteen frescos to help visitors explore the capital city.
