Museum with a permanent exhibition, retracing Breton history with 2,300 objects from the Paleolithic to the present day.
On the second floor of the Champs Libres, discover the permanent exhibition Bretagne est univers, retracing Breton history with 2,300 objects from the Palaeolithic to the present day: fossils, sarcophagi, Bigouden headdresses, traditional closed bed... A section is also devoted to a less-than-glorious episode in French history: the Dreyfus Affair. It was in the Breton capital that the Captain's retrial began in 1894. A museum full of daring, which also hosts rich temporary exhibitions.

The permanent exhibit traces the entire span of human habitation in the Armorique peninsula from the earliest prehistory to our time and beyond. It challenges the visitor to reflect on how to manage the future of this unique place.
There is much more to see. A temporary exhibit showed the world of mountain glaciers in the Pyrenees and the life forms of the intertidal zone through the photographs of researchers. In the center of the building, a planetarium invites exploration of the cosmos. The library is connected on the ground floor and soars 6 floors to offer views of the city. There are workspaces and a small café as well.
Le Musée de Bretagne is so much more than just a museum. As a frequent visitor to Brittany, it enriched my understanding of the human geography of this extensive rocky peninsula. It has much to offer the Bretons themselves: a place to explore and understand their own culture, transmit this understanding to new generations, or simply relax in a space that stimulates the mind. Extremely well done!
