The Museum of Augustins in Toulouse, France is a must-see for those interested in art and history. Founded in 1795, the museum houses over 7000 works of art spanning from the 12th to the 20th centuries. Its impressive collection includes paintings by renowned Old Masters such as Poussin, Rubens and Murillo, alongside collections of sculpture and decorative arts. The highlight of the museum is undoubtedly its Gothic Cloister which was used as a cemetery until it became part of the museum’s building complex in 1832. The austere yet imposing architecture creates an atmosphere like no other with its beautiful arcades and sculptures - most notably that of St Augustine himself. Don’t miss out on seeing these remarkable works while visiting this fascinating museum!
