Les Champs Libres, Cultural center in Rennes, France
Les Champs Libres is a building complex in Rennes that combines a modern library, a science space with planetarium, and the Museum of Brittany under one roof. The architect Christian de Portzamparc designed the structure so that all three institutions integrate seamlessly together.
The complex opened in 2006 and brought together three cultural institutions that were previously spread across different locations in the city. This development was key to reshaping the center of Rennes.
The Museum of Brittany displays objects and documents that tell the story of regional life and traditions. Visitors can see how people in the area lived and what mattered to them across different periods.
The location is near Rennes railway station and easy to reach. Opening hours typically run Tuesday through Sunday, and guided tours plus educational programs are available for all age groups.
The center received the Culture Libre label in 2023, which recognizes its commitment to opening knowledge through digital resources. This makes it a place where information and cultural offerings are freely accessible.
