With 2,000 visitors over its first two weeks, the Maritime Crèches exhibition at the Thoniers d’Étel museum is very well attended. And overall, this success added to that of the other events of the year will also make 2024 a record year in terms of attendance, with 12,000 visitors, “or six times the population of Etel! », jokes the crew.
The year had started very strongly with notable exhibitions such as those of painters of the Navy and that of the Masters of Concarneau. And if the summer was a little less buoyant, while remaining on the high average, the fall and the nurseries were full. “It’s a big success with a strong impact, even national, with an echo in William Leymergie’s show (on C8), for example. People come and come back with their families.”
And the crew salutes the mobilization of volunteers over the period. And on several occasions during these holidays, like Sunday and Thursday, for example, Jo Le Floch joined the volunteers to present the Croqueurs de la Ria exhibition, in parallel with the crèches, to sign the bilingual book “Àr an hent”, which he illustrated, and draw portraits of visitors from life.
Thus, visitors leave the museum delighted by the “marvellous seafarers’ Christmas”, and with their portrait signed by the author of the poster for this edition of maritime nativity scenes.
