Inaugurated in 1987, the museum is housed in a former 17th century urns convent. His collection of over 400 works consists of paintings, drawings, engravings. The first nucleus of this municipal fund was formed in 1913 on the initiative of the deputy mayor of the time Victor Robic, thanks to the relations of friendship which 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 Musée du Faouët obtained the designation "Musée de France" from the Ministry of Culture. The museum attracts many lovers of fine art, seduced by the importance and the quality of the exhibitions 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: Mathurin Méheut, his pupil Yvonne Jean-Haffen, Marius Borgeaud, Germain David-Nillet, Lucien-Victor Delpy, Emile Compard, Arthur Midy, Jean Bouchaud ... and temporary exhibitions on regional themes (A century of painting at Faouët, Child in Breton painting, 100 trades seen by artists in Brittany ...). Exhibition 2020: "A family of artists at Faouët", from April 4 to October 4, 2020.
