Musée de la Pêche, Concarneau, Maritime museum in Concarneau, France.
The Musée de la Pêche is a fishing museum in the Ville Close of Concarneau containing collections of fishing vessels, tools, maps, and detailed models. These exhibits show maritime activities and techniques from different time periods.
The museum preserves the legacy of Concarneau's fishing industry through artifacts like jetons à sardines, a special currency used by seafarers in the late 1800s. These small objects reveal how the working world of fishermen was organized.
The museum shows how women worked in the fishing trade and what roles they took on across generations. The exhibition documents their professional journeys since the 19th century and reveals their contributions to maritime commerce.
The museum sits within the historic Ville Close and is surrounded by walkways that are easy to navigate. A visit works well as part of a stroll through the medieval streets.
Visitors can board the Hémérica, a 34-meter trawler permanently anchored at the museum's quay. The vessel offers direct experience of how maritime ships were built and organized.
