Musée Toulouse-Lautrec

A superb museum presenting the world's most important collection of Toulouse-Lautrec works. At the foot of Albi Cathedral, the Palais de la Berbie majestically overlooks the Tarn River. It was within the walls of this 12th-century building that the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum was established in 1922, bringing together the world's most important collection of this Albi painter. It houses more than 1,000 works, paintings, lithographs and drawings, as well as the 31 posters that made the artist famous. This exceptional collection traces his entire oeuvre, from his early paintings to his final canvas, including his Montmartre years.

Impressive city and a real statement building which houses the works A lot of early career stuff you don't hear about. It s a climb to get there and parking is 'fun ' but the building has lifts too. Go there and spend some time in the city too.

This museum is located in a former bishops palace, so the building is already nice. But the collection is also surprisingly good because it includes some of this early painting work, as well as that several of his contemporaryies' work. They have a hsndful of Eduard Vuillard paintings for example. It is difficult to get there by car, so park by the market parking lot.

The museum has many of Toulouse Lautrec’s paintings that were donated by three women, one was his mother and there is a portrait of her too in the museum. It’s very interesting to visit and learn about his life and artwork. Take your time. The museum is closing for noon though but you can go in the evening too with the same ticket. Totally recommend it!

Beautiful experience! The paintings on 3rd lower half were the best from the collection in my opinion. Wasn't a huge fan of that aspect of the museum but it definitely made up for it being able to experience the entire building and all it's gardens.

Very interesting even if like me you are no art buff. The building and gardens are interesting also.

Worth taking the time to visit. The museum is well done. It was interesting to learn the history of Lautrec and see his work from a budding artist to the end of his life. It was nice the museum provided English translated guide sheets throughout the museum. When you're done make sure to check out the garden in the back.

Beautiful old palace, but closed between 12 and 14, why??

Museum is located in a fantastic, little city. I'm not really a fan of Lautrec's art but I sure did appreciate it and how the museum was set up for visitors. I learned a lot and left with a new appreciation for the man and the artist of his times. If you are in Albi, France..... this is a must see. Then, visit the outdoor cafes, church, and shops.

The museum located in the Palais de la Berbie. This building is use by the Bishops at the pass. Now is museum palace. This art museum is dedicated to an artist work of the painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec who was born in Albi. Many of the art works are the last painting of Henri. The artist mother donated the remaining work of Henri to the museum at 1922. This huge collection is now on display here. They include the last painting of the examination of the doctors. Henri did sketch himself in his drawings. It is interesting to see many rue de moulin painting collection. The art symbolizes the Moulin Rouge in that time. He also has some art work on circus, society, medicine, and more. Many show posters of the show have been done by him are in display. If you want to learn the poster work, you may want to visit this museum.

Beautiful museum! Loved going and walking through. Enjoyed everything there! Did the audio tour. Highly recommend

Beautiful building. Lots of Toulouse lautrec art with a sprinkling of other art as well. The gardens by the water are beautiful and you should take a moment and visit outside the castle as well!

i am a big fan of lautrec's works - have seen exhibits of his works all over. the museum is located in the center of town in a really nice castle. the collection spans throughout his career. my favorites are the sketches from the circus. it's worth a visit for fans and for non-fans.

Fantastic and extensive collection of Lautrec's housed the beautiful Berbie palace, adjacent to the massive brick cathedral. Tickets are a mere 9 Euros, however, if you are not the type that races through a museum, be warned that it closes at noon and then reopens at 2 in the afternoon. You can return with your ticket, but the museum is a near, all day event. The collection includes his work from when we was a young boy to his final painting.

This was a great way to escape the rain while exploring Albi! Large museum in a lovely setting and with a beautiful garden. Has many of the artist's earlier works and proofs of more-famous works. Audio guide was not needed, because there is a 2-page description in various languages (French, English, German) available in each room.
