Museum Bigouden

Leisure centre in Pont-l'Abbé

The Bigouden museum is located in the town of Pont-l'Abbé, in Finistère, 19 km southwest of Quimper.

It is housed within the castle of the Barons du Pont, a building built in the 14th century and extensively remodeled in the 17th and 18th centuries, one of the jewels of the locality's heritage.

The establishment was created in 1955 on the initiative of Jean Lautrédou, then mayor of the city, Bernard de Parades, Jean Coroller and Auguste Le Berre, manager of the Pichavant embroidery house. In a context then synonymous with the renewal of museums of popular arts and traditions, the museum set itself the objective of presenting traditional society in Bigouden country (i.e. a territory of around twenty small towns, west of Quimper and Bénodet), through collections of objects, furniture, costumes, agricultural tools and maritime objects.

Once placed under the supervision of the Quimper museum, the traditional headdress and costume revealing the heart of Bigoudène identity like that of the museum. It remains to highlight them and place them in resonance with the furniture, objects of daily life, photographic funds and works of art linked to the history of the territory: this is the mission that the museum sets itself.

This is closed for work until September 30, 2025. Until this date, a virtual exhibition is offered outdoors via QR codes allowing you to view mannequins dressed in costumes and covered in traditional headdresses or hats.
