With Hyperrealism. This Is Not a Body, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec invites visitors into a striking world where illusion and reality become almost indistinguishable. Featuring around forty sculptures that are astonishingly lifelike, the exhibition traces how the human figure has evolved in art since the 1970s.

Both captivating and slightly unsettling, these works challenge the way we see the body, identity, and reality itself. On view until October 12, 2026.

Opening scheduled for late June 2026.
