Musée de Bretagne/Brittany, Brest. Poseidon (1822). Sculpté par Yves-Etienne Collet (1761-1843)
The Naval Museum of Brest is the most informative naval museum I have ever visited. It is filled with wonderful information.
At the Naval Museum, there is a large room filled with figurehead sculptures (Figures de proue et de poupe). I was especially fascinated by the immense, and magnificent, sculptures of Yves-Etienne Collet, and by the information provided on the various parts of a ship that used to be sculpted.
