We had some free time today, so I explored the Lower Town, returned to the Museum of Bad Art and enjoyed the "Poop" (paraphrasing here...) exhibit at the Museum of Civilization.
One of the narrow streets in the Lower Town.
I finally returned to the Museum of Bad Art, a pop-up sort of museum (the installation in Quebec will close in October).
It was founded by antique dealer Scott Wilson,
who discovered what has become the museum's signature piece—Lucy in the
Field with Flowers—protruding from between two trash cans on a
Roslindale-area curb in Boston, among some garbage waiting to be
collected.
The most interesting part of the exhibition was the commentary on the piece and also where the piece was "rescued."
I've included a sampling of 4 pieces that I found interesting.

Keys to the City
Look carefully! There are real keys.
Bozo the Poodle
Desert Still Life (The Therapist's Wife)
Earthworm
Later I spent several hours at the Museum of Civilization. There were several exhibits there. One was about the history of the people of Quebec.
But on the second floor, I discovered an exhibit entitled, "O, merde!" Essentially, it was an exhibit on "poop."
It was fascinating. Here's a link: https://flushitblog.wordpress.com/2021/06/21/quebec-citys-museum-of-civilization-invites-the-world-to-o-merde/
