Musée de Bretagne

One of the best places to have a day out in Rennes. The wide range of information one receives from prehistoric age to world war era is mesmerizing. Really enjoyed all the intricate details of certain aspects and the limited exposition being held during that time. Totally recommend it.

It's a nice thing to do while I'm Rennes. The entrance is free which was a nice surprise. You can get a glimpse about the history of the region , and an interesting fact is that besides English and French the info boards have the local language Breton as well. Going through the whole museum it will take you around 1h and a half maybe up to 3 if you read every info board.

The architecture of the museum and adjoining library is beautiful to behold. It draws you in and opens your curiosity to explore, learn and interact with the stories within. The permanent exhibit traces the entire span of human habitation in the Armorique peninsula from the earliest prehistory to our time and beyond. It challenges the visitor to reflect on how to manage the future of this unique place. There is much more to see. A temporary exhibit showed the world of mountain glaciers in the Pyrenees and the life forms of the intertidal zone through the photographs of researchers. In the center of the building, a planetarium invites exploration of the cosmos. The library is connected on the ground floor and soars 6 floors to offer views of the city. There are workspaces and a small café as well. Le Musée de Bretagne is so much more than just a museum. As a frequent visitor to Brittany, it enriched my understanding of the human geography of this extensive rocky peninsula. It has much to offer the Bretons themselves: a place to explore and understand their own culture, transmit this understanding to new generations, or simply relax in a space that stimulates the mind. Extremely well done!

Great free museum with a place to draw, including easels paper, and pencils.

A wonderful free museum, headphone for commentary in other languages, really well presented. Some of the nicest staff we met in France. The Planetarium you do pay for and it's only in French but still worth it, amazing..try not to fall asleep though as the seating is very comfortable and the show very soothing!

A really good place to get to know much about Brittany. Starting at really early ages and movin thru the centuries ending in modern Brittany you'll discover a lot. Many exciting objects are exhibited plus interesting movies. Entrance is for free!

Excellent museum. It takes a very broad view of the history and culture of Bretagne and tells it in an interesting and engaging way. As a foreign tourist I am very grateful for the English audioguide and many of the explanations also offered in French and English. And they even make it free!! Merci 🙏 Definitely worth a visit if you are spending some time in Bretagne. (And Rennes was a lovely city to visit as well)

Went here to see prehistoric finds and was not dissapointed. They do try to give attention to the whole history of Brittany until present day, so it was not that much. The big chunks of text are translated in English, so thanks for that as well! Beautiful museum with way much more going on then what we had time and energy for.
