Nestled in the Brittany hills is a little village known as the village of painters. In 1907 American artist Alfred Klotz bought the ruin of a 12 th century chateau and reconstructed a castle on its site. The complex of buildings included a museum and a residency for artists with ateliers looking out over hills of slate.
The castle and it grounds were just acquired by the town of Rochefort-en-Terre. In keeping with the creative energy of the lieu, 350 square meters of space was given to artists Patrice Hubert and Manu Van H to transform into a museum for Visionary, Lowbrow and Fantastic Art. And that they did. On the 11 th of April, the museum Naia opened its doors. The official inauguration will be the 30th of May.
Events will follow including an event around the Encyclopedia of Fernal Affairs. (keep posted!)
