Milmarin
About This Museum
It’s a rare thing to find a museum that feels more like a lived-in home than an institution, but Milmarin pulls it off. Housed in a former sailor's cottage, its creaking floorboards and salt-weathered walls tell their own story before you even look at the exhibits. Inside, the air smells faintly of old wood and tar, surrounding you with an intimate collection of maritime life. You'll find everything from intricate ship models to the surprisingly colorful knit sweaters that once protected fishermen from the brutal Atlantic winds.
Collection Highlights
The soul of the place is its tribute to the 'Icelandic Fishermen,' featuring poignant photographs and personal letters. Don't miss the beautifully preserved traditional fishing boat, or 'sinagot,' seemingly ready to set sail.
Visitor Information
Tucked away at 16 Rue de la Résistance in Ploubazlanec, it's a small gem—so check opening times online before you make the trip.
Architecture & Building
A classic Breton longère, which is a long, low stone house with a steep slate roof, looking as if it grew straight from the coastal landscape.
