Museum of Fine Arts in a small Italian-style palace in Quimper, one of the richest museums in Brittany and France.

Ranked among the richest museums in Brittany and France, Quimper's Musée des Beaux-Arts is nestled in a charming Italianate palace built in 1867, opposite Saint-Corentin Cathedral. The Breton-inspired paintings, dating from 1875 to 1905, reveal the lively and original traditions of Brittany. The poet and painter Max Jacob, a native of Quimper, is given particular prominence, and is the subject of regular temporary exhibitions. The second floor features an eclectic collection of Northern (17th century), Italian (late 14th to 17th century) and French (17th to 19th century) art. The collection devoted to the painters of the Pont-Aven school is also a must-see.

Magnifique ! Tant la richesse des collections que l'architecture intérieure

Le musée des beaux arts de Quimper propose une exposition rétrospective sur le peintre Pierre de Belay. De très nombreuses œuvres retracent une carrière riche et variée, une belle découverte !
Le reste des collections, bien mis en valeur, vaut également le déplacement.

Un musée qui sort de la linéarité en mêlant les artistes bretons, flamands, français et d'autres nationalités, ce qui donne un séduisant patchwork, notamment grâce à la disposition architecturale des lieux qui favorisent les détours et les découvertes de salle en salle.

A gem of a museum in a gem of an old town. Beautiful art pieces and quality temporary exhibitions. The Breton art is impressive and there are some larger pieces that are spectacular and well worth the visit just for them. The entry price is also very reasonable at 6.5 euros which leaves some money for a crêpe after the tour! Plan about 2h for the visit.
