The Musée d’Histoire de Nantes regularly organizes international exhibitions showcasing major ancient and contemporary civilizations. In 2017, Osaka Castle and the Château des ducs de Bretagne signed a pact formalizing their strategic and scientific collaborations. As part of these cultural and academic exchanges, numerous contemporary Japanese artists have already been invited to the Château des ducs de Bretagne. 10 years after the major 2014 exhibition Samouraï, 1 000 ans d’histoire du Japon (“Samurai, 1,000 Years of Japanese History”), which painted a portrait of Japan from past to present, our close ties with the country continue in 2025, with a one-of-a-kind presentation of works by Hokusai.
