En Réduction avec le Toulouse Tourist Pass
The Musée des Augustins is Toulouse's fine arts museum. Its silhouette is as much a part of the city's past as its present: characteristic of Toulouse's urban planning, the former Augustins convent, built in the 14th century, is ideally located in the city centre; the large cloister and its garden offer visitors a unique atmosphere.
The collections include some exceptional medieval sculptures, a number of very large-format paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, both from Toulouse and further afield, and a remarkable collection of 19th-century paintings and sculptures.
Closed in 2019 for emergency works, the Musée des Augustins was involved in a multi-phase project designed to make it more accessible, more modern and more in line with the expectations of today's visitors. Since 19 December, the museum has been partially reopened to visitors.

The Musee des Augustins
First opened during the French Revolution, this is one of the oldest museums in France. Its typically Toulousian architecture provides an exceptional setting for paintings and sculptures dating from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
