In order to reach this museum on foot one has to walk for a good half hour if one is staying in downtown Toulouse and it is really not worth the time or the effort. The only thing we saw that was of any interest was a children's carrousel in the park that was adjacent to the museum. The children... More

There wasn't much happening as they seemed to be renovating, and I guess it might have been more fun here if more had been happening. I am sorry to say I found this place boring. There was a cafe that looked as if it could have been nice, but we were not really hungry. Other than this, there was no... More

The abattoirs arts centre is undergoing repairs and only had one exhibition on. - of an artist who takes humself very seriously obviously) We got in free. I'm prepared to believe it's better when fully operational. But the humourless incomprehensible art work, bleak and uninviting acres of dead space around the buildings, the prim shop and the absolute deafness of... More

it was in the high 30's when we were there - every day - so at one stage we went to the Abbatoir area by the river to while away some free time and relax, easy to access from the other side fo the river (enjoy the old bridge too with its unusual design for letting peak flood water through)....

If you have a student ID, it's 3 euros... Regular price is 8 euros... so if you have one, don't forget it. The exhibits here are pretty cool and change a few times a year.... All the exhibits were creative and interesting... I think even children would enjoy this museum.... There are rooms with mirrors and dots, and moving light... More

The Modern art Museum of Toulouse. They always have interesting temporary expositions + the permanent one. Plus the location is great, surrounded by a beautiful garden. Must see if you are into museum.

I've been several times to this place. There is a permanent part and some expositions turning over regularly. I enjoy going there because it is often interesting, even if you don't like the pieces of art. It is creative, surprising. This is not a huge museum but you can see original works. Sometimes (1st sunday of everymonth I think) it... More
