Galerie LeRoyer

Old Montréal


This spacious old gallery has always been at the forefront of the avant-garde scene in Montréal, previously under the moniker of Galerie St-Dizier. Works are split between local and heavyweight artists known abroad, including Besner, St-Pierre and Tetro. Its forte is naive and modernist art and sculpture.
