Pearls from near and far to discover

Founded in 2001 by Acadian naïve artist Yvon M. Daigle, the Musée international d’art naïf de Magog (MIANM) opened its doors to the public on September 24th, 2002. It is a Canadian museum exclusively dedicated to naïve art. With a collection that initially consisted of 168 artworks from 18 countries, the Museum now has over 1,400 artworks in its collection, from 47 countries across six continents. Originally located on Chemin Roy in Magog, in a small cottage, the museum moved to Club Azur in 2006. In 2012, it finally settled into its current premises, in the heart of downtown Magog. Now conveniently located, it is an integral part of the city’s attractions. Although the Museum is well known to tourists, it remains a hidden gem for residents of Magog and the Eastern Townships. Visitors are always pleasantly surprised to discover naïve art, an artistic movement rarely highlighted in other museums in the region. Accredited since 2019, the MIANM’s mission is to promote naive art through its exhibitions, public programs, and other available means of dissemination and promotion, as well as to share its collections and knowledge of naive art with the public, in collaboration with other institutions that wish to support its mission. In 2025, the Museum set a new attendance record of 10,601 visitors, surpassing the previous record by more than 2,000 visitors. Strengths Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
