The Dobrée Museum is a remarkable heritage site, housing collections that are unique in their richness and diversity.
Following a major restoration project, the museum can finally be seen in all its originality as a unique site built around three buildings: the Dobrée house, a 15th-century manor, and two extensions dating from the 20th and 21st centuries. This unique and eclectic ensemble is made up of multiple collections spanning 500,000 years of history and 5 continents, with 2,400 objects on display, including the reliquary containing Anne de Bretagne’s heart.
In a warm, cozy atmosphere, the new Dobrée Museum offers a wide range of interactive and sensorial tours that illustrate the Département de Loire-Atlantique’s vocation “to arouse curiosity, emotion, and the joy of discovery”.
The buildings are also surrounded by a broad palette of plant-life: in the centre is the museum garden, with its collection of plants inviting onlookers to yet another voyage, a grassy park for children with seats and a play area, as well as a forecourt lined with a collection of rosebushes.
