About the museum
The story of the Musée des Augustins
The Musée des Augustins in Toulouse opened in 1795 in a fourteenth-century Augustinian convent, one of the first museums in France.
It holds Romanesque and Gothic sculpture in the cloister and paintings from Rubens to Delacroix and Toulouse's own painters.
The collection
The Musée des Augustins is the fine-arts museum of Toulouse. Its sculpture collection is famous for Romanesque capitals from the city's churches and Gothic statues, displayed in the convent's cloister and chapter house.
Its paintings range from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, with Perugino, Rubens, Van Dyck, Delacroix, Ingres and Toulouse-Lautrec.
At ArtLogia you can order 48 of its paintings as hand-painted reproductions, by 41 artists led by Nicolas Tournier, Antoine-Jean Gros and Henri-Jean Guillaume Martin.
