Musée Dobrée

The Musée Dobrée in Nantes was established in the late 19th century with the bequest of the wealthy collector Thomas Dobrée II. The historic complex combines a medieval tower with a Neo-Gothic extension. The extensive collections comprise more than 135,000 objects that trace the region's cultural history from prehistory to the 20th century. The reliquary of Anne de Bretagne is especially famous. You follow a tour arranged chronologically and by theme that presents about 2,000 exhibits. These include important archaeological finds as well as Greek, Etruscan, and Roman artifacts. After several years of modernization and redesign, the museum reopened in May 2024.
