Musée des Augustins, Art museum in Toulouse, France
The Musée des Augustins occupies a former Augustine convent and displays over 4,000 artworks from medieval times through the early 20th century.
Jean-Antoine Chaptal established this museum in 1795, making it one of the earliest French museums after the Louvre opened during the French Revolution.
The museum holds sculptures from regional religious buildings, including the Notre-Dame de Grasse collection and numerous Romanesque capitals from Toulouse churches.
The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, educational workshops for children and adults, and maintains regular temporary exhibitions throughout the year.
The modern lighting installation by Jorge Pardo illuminates the Romanesque sculpture hall, creating a contemporary interpretation of medieval art display.
