Today, the courthouse welcomes the Palais des arts Harricana et l’Historium. For one, you can admire the talent of artists both local and abroad as well as several works of world famous painter Jean-Paul Riopelle. You can also discover thematic exhibitions on Abitibi history, including a collection of surgical instruments used in the first hospital of Amos in the early last century.
