From 04/10/2024
Water, the eyes of the world" exhibition
As part of Un Automne autrement 2024
This exhibition tells the story of the Auray region's inhabitants' relationship with water before 1950. When water wasn't flowing from the tap, the link to water was forged through daily life and activities. Inhabitants collectively organized the management of water in their territory. Today, it's hard to imagine people drinking water from wells and streams, or treating themselves with water from fountains. Behind these practices, a different water culture is revealed, one that questions our own relationship with water.
A painting by Lucien Pouëdras, featuring some thirty canvases, completes and illustrates the importance of water throughout the seasons.
From November 4: Open on reservation, weekdays, 2pm to 5pm.
Closed weekends and public holidays
