Musée du Faouët

Inaugurated in 1987, the Faouët museum is housed in a former Ursuline convent from the 17th century. His collection of more than 400 works consists of paintings, drawings, engravings. The first nucleus of this municipal fund was formed in 1913 on the initiative of the then Deputy Mayor Victor Robic, thanks to the friendly relations he had with the artists frequenting the locality. The collection is presented in part, alongside the annual temporary exhibitions. By order of January 16, 2012, the museum of Le Faouët obtained from the Ministry of Culture the designation "museum of France". The museum attracts many fine arts enthusiasts, seduced by the importance and quality of the exhibitions presented there. Since 1992, the museum has devoted major 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, The child in Breton painting, 100 trades seen by artists in Brittany...). Family and teen workshops, guided tours, adult flash tours, conferences, 18-year-old culture pass... Book your tailor-made visit!
