The Musée des Augustins de Toulouse, sited in a Gothic convent in Toulouse, France, conserves a collection of sculpture and paintings from the Middle Ages to the early twentieth century. The paintings are metropolitan in scope, the sculptures representing Occitan culture of the region, with a particularly rich assemblage of Romanesque sculpture.
The museum's sculpture collection is in large part due to the rescue activities of antiquaries and museum curators such as Alexandre du Mège who managed to extricate sculpture from the frequent destruction of religious buildings that marked the nineteenth century.
Opening hours: Daily from 10.00am to 6.00pm. Late opening on Wednesdays until 9.00pm.
Entry Prices: Exhibition: €5.50 (price includes museum access) Reduced rate (students, groups and the first Sunday of each month): €2.50 Free for the under 18s.
Scientific Advisors: Jean-Claude Boyer and Jean-Pierre Changeux
Exhibition Curators: Anne-Edith Maillard, Curator of the musée Bossuet in Meaux. Alain Daguerre de Hureaux, Chief Curator of the Musée des Augustins. Axel Hémery, Curator of Paintings at the Musée des Augustins. Patrick Ramade, Chief Curator of the musée des beaux-arts in Caen. Caroline Joubert, Curator of the musée des beaux-arts in Caen.
