Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper, Art museum in Quimper, France.
The museum displays over 600 artworks across twenty rooms, featuring paintings, drawings, and sculptures from the 15th to 21st centuries. The collection spans Northern European, Italian, and French artistic movements.
The museum opened in 1872 following Jean-Marie de Silguy's bequest of 1200 paintings and 2000 drawings to the city. Architect Joseph Bigot designed the building to house this significant collection.
The collections feature works by Breton artists and paintings from the Pont-Aven school, reflecting the region's strong artistic movements. You can see how these works shaped the area's artistic identity.
The museum is located opposite the Cathedral and easy to find, with entrances facing the street. The rooms are arranged logically, so you can navigate on your own or join guided tours.
A dedicated space honors the poet Max Jacob, born in Quimper, who introduced Picasso to the art world. There you can see works by both artists and their contemporaries.
