Pierre Gravel<\/h3>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”200″]<\/p>\n

\"PierreHead of his own artistic agency in Granby for nearly 60 years, Impresario Pierre Gravel, has developed many interests. Not only is he behind the names of some of the biggest stars in show business but he also has a great interest in bronze sculptures by Quebec, Canadian and European artists, as well for Native American art, for which he has a special affection. Stamps and rare coins are also among his preferred affections and are highlighted throughout the Museum.<\/p>\n

Along with his activities as an Impresario, Pierre Gravel also worked as a gunsmith for 20 years and still works as an authorized inspector for the Canadian Firearms Registry, as does Carole Potvin and Brigitte Gravel, co-founders of the Museum. His extensive knowledge in this field play a key role in the various themes developed in the Museum.<\/p>\n

In short, the Mus\u00e9e Canadien de l\u2019Arme et du Bronze is a realization of a dream for Pierre Gravel and his wife Carole Potvin, who through the collections will show the general public the history of the Americas and of the wars which have been fought in them.<\/p>\n
