Musée Départemental Breton
Located in the medieval Palais des Eveques de Cornouaille (Palace of the Bishops of Cornwall), next to the cathedral, this is a highlight of any visit to Quimper. Recent renovations have revamped its displays of the archaeological and decorative history of the region. A visit here is one of the best ways to learn about the customs and traditions of Brittany, illustrated in items of stained glass, sculpture, furniture, painting, and faience, in addition to four rooms showcasing everyday and ceremonial Breton costumes.
