About Museum of Fine Arts in Quimper
In the heart of the old Breton city of Quimper, the Museum of Fine Arts is one of the richest regional art museums in France, celebrated above all for its superb collection of paintings connected to Brittany. Its galleries display works from the 14th to the 20th century by French, Italian, Flemish and Dutch masters, but its glory lies in its rooms devoted to Breton subjects and to the Pont-Aven School — luminous canvases by Gauguin's circle and other artists capturing the landscapes, legends, costumes and people of Brittany. A fine collection linked to the poet Max Jacob, a native of Quimper, adds further interest. Elegant and comprehensive, the Museum of Fine Arts of Quimper offers a superb journey through European art and the rich artistic heritage of Brittany, an essential cultural stop in the capital of the Cornouaille.
