Musée Mathurin-Méheut

The Mathurin Méheut Museum displays illustrations, ceramics, and decorative objects within the Haras national de Lamballe, focusing on subjects drawn from nature and the surrounding region. The collection spans multiple artistic techniques and materials that document his varied creative output.

The museum was established in 1972 in the Maison du Bourreau before moving to a larger location in 2022 to accommodate its growing collection. This relocation allowed more of the artist's diverse body of work to be displayed.

The museum honors an artist who spent his life observing and depicting the natural world of Brittany. His work reveals how he transformed everyday scenes and living things into decorative and functional art.

The museum occupies buildings within a former stud farm and is relatively straightforward to locate. A visit requires time to explore thoroughly, especially if you want to examine the various techniques and materials closely.

The artist documented marine life at Roscoff beaches through detailed paintings that combined scientific observation with artistic rendering. These works offer a rare glimpse into coastal ecology seen through a painter's eyes.
