At the same time, visitors may discover and admire the architectural characteristics of the building and the richness of the works it contains. Visitors are also invited to discover the multimedia exposition entitled Le Québec, ses députés, ses régions, which highlights the active role Members play in the communities they represent, and paints a warm and sensitive portrait of the various regions of Québec.Guided tours are offered in English and French and, with an
advance reservation, in Spanish, Italian and Quebec Sign Language. Groups of 10
persons or more should reserve in advance. |
