Description
Copper art has been a family affair for the Gilles for nearly a century, and this tradition has not gone unnoticed! The Conseil du patrimoine du Québec even recognized the family's talent in copper fabrication! This passion stems from Albert Gilles, the genius behind the copper doors at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica. The five women in his family are now keeping this legacy alive. A visit to their boutique and museum will give you the chance to see their masterpieces. The Gilles have worked for Pope Pius XII and Walt Disney, and many of their works have gone on to decorate churches in North America. Before you leave, you can create your own copper piece to take home! Buy your tickets for Musée et atelier du cuivre d'art Albert Gilles à Québec !

- A truly unforgettable and generous experience This visit was an absolute gem and far exceeded our expectations. The Musée et Atelier du Cuivre d’Art Albert Gilles is already fascinating for its history, craftsmanship, and the incredible legacy of nearly 100 years of copper art—but what truly made this experience exceptional was the people behind it. We arrived close to closing time and, despite being outside regular business hours, the team still welcomed us warmly and took the time to give us the full guided experience. This was completely unexpected and incredibly appreciated. Their passion, kindness, and genuine desire to share their art and history made us feel truly valued as visitors. The guided tour was engaging and informative, the repoussé demonstration was impressive, and creating our own copper piece to take home was both fun and meaningful. Learning about Albert Gilles’ work—especially the iconic copper doors at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Basilica—gave the entire visit even more depth. This is not just a museum; it’s a living legacy, lovingly preserved and shared by the family. If you’re visiting Québec City, this experience is an absolute must. Authentic, educational, hands-on, and delivered with a level of hospitality that is rare to find. Highly, highly recommended.
