Musée Saint-Raymond
An archaeology museum beside Saint-Sernin Basilica. It holds many imperial statues excavated from the Roman villa at Chiragan nearby.
The Musée Saint-Raymond is Toulouse's museum of ancient archaeology. It is housed in a 16th-century college building next to the Saint-Sernin Basilica. Its highlights are the marble sculpture groups excavated from the nearby Chiragan Roman villa, including busts of several Roman emperors and reliefs of the Labors of Hercules. The lower level preserves the remains of an early Christian cemetery. It is a manageable size and can be seen in about an hour. The museum is closed on Mondays.
