History
History
The Sherbrooke Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1982 by local art lovers. It is the main institution in the Estrie region for the display and conservation of art. It was accredited by the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications in March 1990. In 1996, it relocated to the former head office of the Eastern Townships Bank, a building constructed in 1876. The building was completely renovated to convert it into a museum.
