The Musée d'Arts de Nantes does not have a specific food history distinct from that of the city itself. Nantes, being located in the Loire-Atlantique department which is a part of the historic province of Brittany, offers a rich culinary tradition influenced by both the sea and the land. The region is known for its fresh seafood, buttery pastries, and unique savory crêpes called "galettes". Local produce from both the land and sea plays an important role in the culinary landscape of Nantes.
