Their actions
ACAL volunteers have been active since the beginning of the renovation project alongside the Loctudy Town Hall. Their actions have made it possible to move, restore and reinstall the objects in the Museum's collections. Many of the volunteers are specialists in the world of canning. Their knowledge has contributed to the writing of the Museum's texts.
Today, volunteers give guided tours of the museum at designated times. In addition, a project for an audio guide in Breton is underway. This project will soon be completed. They also participate in the organisation of events such as the Night of the Museums, the European Heritage Days and children's workshops.
