The Galerie Métairie visit in Scaër brings together several collections under one roof: minerals from around the world, Breton costumes, cameras from the 19th and 20th centuries, paintings and photographs from the 1960s. The range gives the visit a cabinet-of-curiosities character, moving between local dress heritage, visual culture and natural specimens. It is especially relevant for visitors interested in how private or local collections can preserve material traces of daily life, image-making and regional identity.
