OR Arts Museum: Discover works such as Gustave Courbet’s Les Cribleuses de blé, Auguste Rodin’s Les Trois Ombres and Impressionism, with Claude Monet’s famous Water Lilies. The collections also feature works by painters from the Pont-Aven school and the Nabis, thanks to exceptional deposits from the Musée d’Orsay.
The Machines de l’Île was born of a collaboration between artists François Delarozière & Pierre Orefice. The idea is to create a fantastic universe where nature and machines blend creatively. One of the center pieces is the Elephant, a 12-metre-high mechanical structure made of steel and wood, capable of carrying passengers. The tour is punctuated by presentations from the machinists, who explain the history and workings of these curious creatures.
