JOHN HOWE: FANTASTIC VOYAGES

This summer, nearly 150 works; original drawings, paintings and digital pieces, go on display across three iconic heritage sites on the Guérande Peninsula in France, in an exhibition trail running from 20th June to 1st November 2026.

Curated by Diane and Jean-Jacques Launier for CapAtlantique La Baule-Guérande Agglo, the show takes visitors on a journey through the central themes of John Howe’s lifetime body of work: ancient legends, mythical landscapes and fantastic worlds. At the Porte Saint-Michel, the experience takes on a different dimension after dark, when the medieval façade is transformed by a monumental projection, light and imagery conjuring a dreamlike, mythological universe from the stonework itself.

For decades John Howe has been one of the foremost names in fantasy illustration, known above all as a conceptual designer on the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies. Fantastic Voyages is a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth of that extraordinary career in one place.
