Hello,
I came to visit your beautiful museum this summer and I would like to know the title of one of Franz Johnston painting representing a rabaska with 5 people on a river that you own. Thank you for you help and your response.

Hello,
I am so glad that you enjoyed the museum.
I believe the painting you are referring to is called ON TO HUDSON’S BAY, 1947. It is a beautiful painting and we are very proud of our collection of Group of Seven works, especially Franz Johnston.
