Musée du Faouët

Inaugurated in 1987, the Faouët museum is housed in a former 17th century Ursuline convent. Its collection of more than 400 works consists of paintings, drawings, engravings. The first nucleus of this municipal fund was formed in 1913 at the initiative of the deputy mayor of the time Victor Robic, thanks to the friendly relations he maintained with the artists frequenting the locality. The collection is presented in part alongside the annual temporary exhibitions. By decree of January 16, 2012, the Le Faouët museum obtained the designation "Musée de France" from the Ministry of Culture. The museum attracts many fine art enthusiasts, won over by the size and quality of the exhibits presented there. Since 1992, the museum has devoted large retrospectives to the work of artists who have practiced their art in this small pictorial city and temporary exhibitions on regional themes (A century of painting in Faouët, l'Enfant dans la peinture bretonne, 100 trades seen by artists in Brittany ...). Family workshops, guided tours, flash tours for adults and children, conferences, 18-year-old culture pass ... Book your tailor-made visit!
