Toulouse-Lautrec Museum

The Toulouse-Lautrec Museum is a must-visit for art lovers, located in the historic Palais de la Berbie, a former bishop's palace. The museum boasts the largest public collection of works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, who was born in Albi in 1864. The collection includes over 1,000 pieces, spanning his entire career, from early sketches to his famous posters of the Moulin Rouge and portraits of Parisian nightlife. The museum is arranged chronologically, allowing visitors to trace his artistic development. Highlights include his iconic 'Jane Avril' posters, intimate portraits of dancers and prostitutes, and his lesser-known landscapes. The setting itself is magnificent: the palatial rooms with high ceilings and stone walls provide a perfect backdrop for the art. The museum also features temporary exhibitions and a collection of works by other artists, including Vuillard and Bonnard. After viewing the art, visitors can stroll through the adjacent classical French gardens, which offer beautiful views over the Tarn River. The museum provides a deep insight into the life and work of an artist who captured the spirit of fin-de-siècle Paris.
