Robert Tatin Museum

Robert Tatin was born in 1902 in Laval, capital of Mayenne. He was a construction worker for most of his early working life but in his spare time he studied art. He lived for a while in Brazil and travelled around South America. At the age of 43 he decided to follow his dream and moved to Paris to open an artist’s workshop. By now he had gained international recognition. He returned at the age of 60 to Mayenne and bought an old, small house on the outskirts of Laval. Here his artistic passions were fully unleashed.

Tatin wanted to build bigger and bolder and more imaginative rooms but the lack of space was holding him back. He was told that if he declared his home and creations a museum he would have more privileges. He applied for museum status and seven years later the house and buildings were approved, and Tatin used the additional rooms he built to exhibit his paintings and sculptures. He carried on building until he died in 1983.
