Musée Yan’Dargent

The museum exhibits works by the artist Yan’ Dargent, born and buried in Saint-Servais (1824-1899).

Yan’ Dargent painted the landscapes of his native Léon as well as those of the Crozon peninsula. He depicted the legends of his childhood, including “The Washerwomen of the Night,” his most famous painting. He decorated many churches. Finally, he was a prolific illustrator.

On the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth in 2024, the museum is particularly interested in his illustration of Dante’s “The Divine Comedy” (1879) and in shipwreck looters. Visitors are also guided through the church and the ossuary where they discover his talent as a painter of the sacred. In addition, Saint-Servais can also be the start of a journey in the artist’s footsteps in various museums and churches in the region.

Free guided tours.
