Albert Gilles Copper Art Studio & Museum: Guided Tour + Workshop

Copper art has been in the Gilles family for close to a century, and their tradition hasn't gone unnoticed! The Heritage Council of Quebec has even acknowledged their talent in copper crafting. The passion stems from Albert Gilles – the genius behind the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré's copper doors – and now the five women of his family bring the medium to life. During a visit to their boutique and museum, you'll have the chance to see their metal masterpieces. They've worked for clients like Pope Pius XII and Walt Disney, and many of their pieces have gone onto decorate churches across North America. Before you leave, you'll also get to create your own copper piece to bring home!
