Parking PlanTravelling lectures
To encourage people to visit the collections, the MAJ has also created the program One Hour, One Artwork. This travelling lecture series is aimed at helping participants understand the visual arts and the history of art. Designed for a wide audience, the series of eight lectures is ideally suited to primary and secondary schools, libraries, senior citizens’ homes, cultural and educational associations and any other institution or organization in the Lanaudière region that requests it. Lectures may be given in French or in English.
About Lanaudière
Located almost on Montreal’s doorstep, Lanaudière is one of Quebec’s most beautiful regions, offering visitors a natural environment that still remains largely pristine and untamed. The territory is bounded by the St. Lawrence River to the south and the Laurentian mountain range to the north. Lying between the Laurentides region in the west and Mauricie in the east, it is a vast north-south corridor some 250 km deep and up to 85 km wide, covering an area of 13,537 sq. km. Journeying along its full length, you’ll pass from quite densely populated areas to virtually uninhabited wilderness regions. Lanaudière is a place where natural wonders and culture live in perfect harmony.
