Musée International du Long-Cours Cap-Hornier

The International Long-Course Cape Horners Museum, situated in the Saint-Servan district of the city of Saint-Malo in Ille-et-Vilaine, was established by Dan Lailler, the curator of the museums of Saint-Malo. This museum is a significant point of interest for those interested in maritime history and the legacy of long-course sailors.

Closure and Future Plans

The International Long-Course Cape Horners Museum closed permanently in November 2019. However, a new maritime museum, which will incorporate the previous collections, is planned to open in 2024. This upcoming project is something for future visitors to look forward to.

Collection and Focus of the Museum

The museum's collection focuses on the history of long-course navigation, with a particular emphasis on the experiences of long-course captains and Cape Horn sailors. It provides a unique insight into the lives of those who braved the treacherous journey around Cape Horn.
