There are many museums in France that are housed in quite spectacular structures that are worthy to be attractions themselves, even without the benefit of the collections that are housed within its interiors. One of these museums is the Breton Museum, which is undoubtedly one of the attractions in Quimper that many visitors from neighboring towns and cities in the country as well as from abroad come to view.
This museum can be found along the river, which is located at the very heart of Quimper. It is housed in an elaborate palace that was once the former grand residence of a bishop. The wonderful Breton Museum, which is one of the best attractions in Quimper, has one of the greatest collections of artifacts and works that pertain to Brittany's history and to the Breton people. Visitors who come here are treated to a journey that will take them from the earliest settlements in the region, and let them explore the culture of the Bretons, which are a group of people who are independent from the rule of France.
