Welcome to the
Sérusier Museum

Châteauneuf-du-Faou preserves the exceptional legacy of Paul Sérusier (Paris, 1864 – Morlaix, 1927) and Marguerite Gabriel-Claude (Lons-le-Saunier, 1879 – Châteauneuf-du-Faou, 1950). Their house and the places that inspired them during their lives still stand to this day. The Church of Saint Julien houses the only original and publicly accessible décor by Paul Sérusier: the murals of the baptistery (1914-1919). The town also holds a sizable collection of more than two hundred works in its possession, assembled piece by piece since the 1970s.

As part of this rich heritage, the creation of this museum marks a major step towards the greater recognition of the work of Marguerite and Paul Sérusier. It offers a unique opportunity to discover and experience for oneself the deep bond they had with the town they called home. With the foundation of this new institution, Central Finistère gains its first art museum and one of the few cultural institutions of France to be dedicated to an artistic couple. The collection it houses is the largest ensemble of works by Marguerite and Paul Sérusier in the world.
