Created in 2023 by Réjean Pagé, the Conservatory magazine is a unique document that allows you to consult and preserve a certain moment in the history of our art, without the imponderables of the traveling exhibitions offered from time to time at the museum. The opinions expressed in the pages of our magazine by our guests and our regular columnists form a web of thoughts that define magic in a specific era. Through the biographies of our selected artists, discover the evolution of conjuring and its meaning for generations to come.
