Maison De La Harpe
About This Museum
You know how people come to Brittany for the coast and the castles? Well, music lovers make a special little detour to Dinan just for this place. Tucked away on the charming Rue de l'Horloge, it's a whole museum dedicated entirely to the harp, which feels both niche and utterly magical. Inside, it’s not just about looking at dusty instruments; you get to understand their history and even hear their beautiful sound. It’s one of those unexpectedly delightful finds that makes you see an entire region in a new light.
Collection Highlights
The collection is full of gorgeous historical harps, from elegant Celtic models to intricate pedal harps. The real highlight for me was learning about the Breton harp revival and actually hearing a demonstration—it gives you chills.
Visitor Information
Just a heads-up, it looks like it's temporarily closed at the moment, so you'll want to check if it's reopened before planning your trip. It's right in the heart of Dinan's old town, so it's easy to weave into a day of exploring.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in a lovely, classic stone building that fits perfectly with the historic, half-timbered character of old Dinan.
