Toulouse-Lautrec Museum

The Albi Cathedral, with its fortress-like Palais de la Berbie, brings architecture fans and Cathar history buffs to this small town in southwestern France. But there is another reason to visit as well: the astounding Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, which showcases over a thousand of his works.
Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa is best known for capturing the fin-de-siecle decadence of the end of the 19th century in Paris' artsy, bohemian Montmartre district, most notably at the Moulin Rouge cabaret. But he was also accomplished in other media, and the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum is a fantastic way to take an in-depth look at his prolific career.

Practical Info

The museum is open every day in the spring and summer from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed on Tuesdays in October through March. Admission to the terraces and gardens of the Palais de la Berbie is free, but the museum costs 10 euro. There is a coat/bag check area and handicap access.
