Musée des Augustins
An art museum in a 14th-century Augustinian monastery. Its Romanesque and Gothic capital carvings are exceptionally fine.
The Musée des Augustins is housed in a 14th-century monastery in the Southern Gothic style and is Toulouse's art museum. Its collection is strongest in Romanesque and Gothic stone sculpture. Many capitals carved for churches that have since disappeared from the city are displayed here, and there are also European paintings from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. Its two cloister gardens are peaceful and beautiful. The museum has been undergoing phased renovations, so some galleries may be closed. Check the official website before you go. It is near the François Verdier metro station on Line B.
