Fine art museums Brittany

Pont-Aven, the mythical name resounds like a mystery, that of Paul Gauguin, of the Talisman, of the Gloanec pension... Not far from the sea, in this small Breton village coiled around the river Aven and its small river port, the Pont-Aven museum is a jewel which deserves more than a detour. Dedicated to the artists of the Pont-Aven school, the collection also includes works by artists who inherited this style. The museography of the permanent tour is accompanied by simple and effective multimedia devices: audio guides, interactive terminal, film, listening points.

The Christian Gad and Daniel Chhé sculpture park (named after the two granite workers who initiated it) presents 18 majestically carved sculptures in granite, raw or polished, pink or grey. Produced by various artists during two symposiums, in 1998 and 2007, they are of various styles and represent Breton legends (Ankou, Dahud...) or creative work (Le Repos du couleur, Le Sculpteur et sa création...). It is not a museum, so you can touch the works. You can then continue the walk on the Customs path.
