Georges Bemberg’s Foundation — Hotel of Assézat

We visited here on 16th February. A well managed museum. Full of paintings from all periods. It was nice to see Monet, Picasso etc. I would say the curly haired lady at the reception had the best smile and service. She brightened my day. But it was a pity that the man in charge of security obviously didn't smile much towards Asians, which was a bit sad.

The collection is superb, amazing paintings and very well put temporary collection. However, it was difficult to enjoy it because there are no lockers available to leave your stuff hence I was almost choking with my bag pack as i had to carry it in front. They were not considerate and it is expensive for such a small gallery. If you are a traveller with a heavy or big bag pack, avoid it as it is difficult to enjoy this place.

Not only is this the best art museum in Toulouse by far, with world-class paintings, but it is probably one of the best in France outside Paris. A must see for anyone visiting the city, especially as the collection is housed in the most beautiful example of a XVIth century Toulouse townhouse (hôtel particulier).

Great location in the heart of Toulouse! Fair pricing. Very nicely remodeled (2024), if a little simple. Includes two floors of permanent exhibits. Temporary exhibits added once or twice a year. Definitely worth visiting if you live in Toulouse, but probably not worth the effort if you're only here for a few days or a week, unless you're a big fan of particular style collected here.

Very interesting collection of art works by the Masters alongside 19th/20th century art including impressionism. €10 entrance fee.

This is a great collection in a beautiful location. The building has been renovated to an exceptional standard and the collection itself is really impressive, with works from a lot of well-known artists. We particularly liked the harmonious way they were displayed in collections of similar pieces - such as the bronzes with porphyry elements all in one or two rooms. The cabinetry was stunning as well - some really beautiful examples of marquetry. Not all of the art was to my taste. I'm not a huge fan of the more modern stuff (post-1800s), but even I could appreciate that it's a well-curated collection. There's also an atmosphere of intimacy. The paintings aren't sealed away under glass and separated by ropes and distance. Obviously you can't touch them and security is everywhere, but there's something really quite special about being able to lean in and truly see the details and individual brushstrokes. It was quite busy on the Sunday afternoon that we went, with some louder visitors that weren't particularly mindful of the others around them, so if you'd really like to take your time in a nicer atmosphere, I'd recommend going in the week.

The building is beautiful, you can visit it even without paying the ticket. The exhibition contains some amazing pieces of art and it has a small area for temporary exhibitions. The price of the ticket is slightly high, but it's worth to visit it. The staff speak english. Recommended.

This museum is certainly worth a visit! It houses an interesting collection of pieces from a range of artists and periods. The works are beautifully displayed and accompanied by well-prepared descriptions. The building housing this collection is also magnificent.
