Museums and monuments
En Réduction avec le Toulouse Tourist Pass
At the Musée Saint-Raymond, Toulouse's museum of archaeology, you are entering a place that will leave you breathless.
On the 2nd floor, the objects on display and the models evoke Toulouse and its region in the time of the Gauls, the Romans and the Visigoths.
On the 1st floor, you'll never know whether you're looking at the portraits in the gallery or the emperors staring back at you. Then come the mythological sculptures, with these astonishing sculpted reliefs representing the Labours of Hercules. Head underground to discover a veritable archaeological site: a former cemetery in which an astonishing vestige, a lime kiln, has been preserved.
For a moment out of time, you can enjoy a coffee in the small exotic garden with its unusual and little-known charm (open seasonally).
Horaires
From Tuesday to Sunday: from 10am to 6pm. Closed on January 1st, May 1st and December 25th.
