Church of the Jacobins

This magnificent monastery and its peaceful cloister have had a stormy history. The construction of the church took more than 100 years! It is the resting place of Saint Thomas Aquinas, thought to be one of Christianity's greatest theologians. There is plenty for the eyes to feast upon at this extraordinary Gothic edifice. The floor is black marble, and the apse called The Palm of Jacobins is quite famous. On the head of one of the columns, a bull's head symbolizes the martyr, Saint Saturnin.

Musée des Augustins

This monastery turned museum, which dates from the 14th and 15th centuries exhibits the town's largest selection of medieval sculptures (Romanesque and Gothic) and paintings. The collection contains works from the Italian, Flemish and Dutch schools including pieces by Rubens and Le Perugin and French artists from the 16th-20th centuries. The monastery itself has a chapel with two beautiful cloisters as well as a unique collection of Romanesque capitals. The museum also organizes guided tours and lectures.

Musée Georges Labit

Whether you are a connoisseur of oriental art or merely curious about Asian culture, the Georges-Labit Museum is well worth a visit. Covering more than 3,000 years of history, it displays original works from China, Japan, Nepal, India, Thailand, Indonesia and Tibet. The collection was compiled by the museum's founder, George Labit (1862-1899), who travelled the world looking for vestiges of little-known civilizations. There are regular themed exhibitions, e.g. on the subject of Tibetan art and the Tantric religious movement. There are also ancient Egyptian Coptic fabrics from the 4th to the 7th centuries on display. Inquire about guided tours.

Galerie Municipale du Château-d'Eau

Until 1870, this building was used to pump 4000 cubic meters (141,259 cubic feet) of water to 60,000 inhabitants of Toulouse. In 1971, following a suggestion by photographer Jean Dieuzaide, it was turned it into a gallery for black and white photography. The excellent quality of its monthly exhibitions, held on the second story of the building, prove what a good idea this was. Children enjoy it too, as they can see the gear wheels through the thick glass partitions that separate the mechanisms from the public. The gallery also gives new artists the chance to display their work.

Cathedral of Saint Stephen

Compared to the Basilique Saint-Sernin (a model of symmetry), the Saint-Etienne Cathedral is a mishmash of styles. Even though it still manages to be the most elegant building in the city. The façade, whose rose windows and entrance don't match the bell tower, is a result of years of construction and renovation work (1209-1613). The choir too is out of alignment with the nave. Its height recalls the Gothic cathedrals of northern France. The inside is a bit cluttered, but there are some good murals in the chapels. In the square outside is the oldest fountain in Toulouse, Le Griffoul (1546).

Muséum de Toulouse

Located in the Jardin des Plantes, the Muséum de Toulouse, or the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle, holds a wealth of exhibits and displays that both children and adults can enjoy. The entrance hall showcases huge dinosaur skeletons, but that is only the beginning of a visit into the realm of nature and the environment presented at this multi-leveled museum. The main floor of the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle has permanent, interactive exhibitions that depict the development of the earth and France over the years. As one continues, the displays become more nature-based, and visitors enter a hall that depicts the animal kingdom, with hundreds of taxidermy exhibits from every major genus on display. The second-floor hosts rotating exhibits which usually focus on particular topics affecting the world today, and there is a large outdoor garden space with a mini labyrinth in the center. Above all, the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle offers a mulch-faceted view of nature.
