Musée de Pont-Aven

A museum devoted to the Pont-Aven School, holding works and archives by Gauguin, Bernard, Sérusier and others.

The museum reopened after its 2016 extension, focusing on the Pont-Aven School and Synthetism. It displays oil paintings, prints and letters by Gauguin, Émile Bernard, Paul Sérusier, Moret and others, and tells the story of the Gloanec inn, where 19th-century painters stayed. Allow about 1–1.5 hours. Tickets cost about 10 euros, and temporary exhibitions are often held. The museum is beside the central square and can be combined with a stroll through the town.
