| Agustin cloisters |
The Musee des Augustins in Toulouse is one of the oldest such institutions in France, opening first in 1795, having been requisitioned after the Revolution. With a major collection of art and artifacts from medieval times to the 1940s. Housed in a beautiful old monastery the museum is in need of some modernisation. The 20 month closure will be used to install better fire protection, video surveillance and a lift to the first floor, as well as general repairs and decoration.
