    A small museum that we were able to tour in about an hour. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There was also a binder in English with very detailed information for the exhibits. There are some stairs if mobility challenged and watch your head going through some doorways if very tall..!

    Small museum worth visiting. I highly recommend a guided tour, the lady volunteer who showed us around knew Toulouse and its history very well, and I learned a lot of things. I don't think there's guided visits in English for now, but they have a written guide in English you can borrow.

    This is an excellent museum in the city centre. Admission is 5 euros for adults and free for holders of a City Pass. The exhibitions are very informative and provide a lot of historical information.
