About

Inaugurated in 2001, the Manoli museum has emerged today as one of the privileged art places in Brittany. Several hundred works in eight rooms and a large garden reflect the immense talent of the artist. In this place of life and creation still hangs the memory of the sculptor, author of " Cheminée " at the Pierre et Marie Curie University , "Grande voile" at the Montparnasse train station or liturgical furniture of the Cathedral of Quimper. Manoli was interested not only in recycled materials but also in granite, the earthenware and metal which he used in uncommon ways in order to bring out characters, animals and abstract works. The result is amazing . On the green grass, among the trees, sheep clad with propellers can be seen, golden birds take off, owls born out of plows and fire are standing, and acrobats seem to invent perpetual motion. They all take us into the imaginary world of the artist.
