Radio-Canada and its art collection
Le Devoir explores Radio-Canada’s extensive art collection, although without enough images. Interestingly, half its pieces are still in the old Maison Radio‑Canada because, for various reasons, they can’t be moved.

I’m not sure if half the pieces are still in the old building:
« Il y a pratiquement autant d’œuvres ici que dans l’ancienne tour »
To me, that implies that nearly all the artworks were moved, except for the four pieces that couldn’t be moved, and the tapestries donated to the Musée des métiers d’arts.
Incidentally, the piece mentions the artworks that are still in the old building are now under the responsibility of the new owner, but doesn’t discuss their fate. The studios have already been demolished and the tower is currently being completely gutted, so it would great to know exactly how the artworks are being preserved.

Right, I read that to mean “there are about as many pieces here as are in the old building” whereas it probably means “as were in the old building in the past“.
Thank you.

As long as are on the topic of Quebecois Art, what’s up with Hydro-Quebec’s collection?
