      The Musée des Augustins, or Museum of Fine Arts of Toulouse, is a must-see cultural site in the Pink City. Created in 1793 and opened in 1795, it is housed in the former Augustinian convent, a 14th-century southern Gothic building.

      Collections

      The museum houses a rich collection of paintings and sculptures, ranging from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century.
      You can admire works by renowned artists such as Moillon, Toulouse-Lautrec, Delacroix as well as European artists such as Le Pérugin, Murillo, Rubens, Van Dick, Bruegel, Jordaens.
      It also contains a collection of exceptional Toulouse Romanesque sculpture.


      Practical information

      The museum is currently closed for renovations and accessibility upgrades. It is scheduled to reopen in late 2025.
      During the construction period, the museum is offering events outside its walls to bring the collection to life.

    Six years of renovation? What kind of incompetence deprives a city of its only fine arts museum for this duration. And for what, “To give it an entrance appropriate for the prestige of the building”. Only a delusional bureaucratic idealist could think shutting down a city’s main museum for six years would be justified by such a superfluous endeavour. You’ve essentially deprived two generations of Toulouse Lycée students from the opportunity of experiencing the fine arts. Shameful incompetence, everyone involved should be replaced. Musée des Augustins is merely a concept, a remnant of history, it doesn’t actually exist.
