The beautiful monument Petra has inspired many buildings and expressions all round the architecture dimensions.

Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec

March 16th, 2012

An OMA’s competition for the expansion of Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec (MNBAQ) was held. Apart from the winning entries and others what I really found very interesting was the entries by BIG in partner with Fugère Architectes. At present the museum host extensive major travelling exhibitions and collections of contemporary arts and designs and historic exhibitions from across the globe. It has three blocks existing with different architecture expressions and purposes and history.
