Museum of Contemporary Art: rich collection of over 3,500 works, mainly from the second half of the century.

The Musée des Abattoirs, which has been awarded the title of Musée de France, is dedicated to modern and contemporary art. It celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020. It occupies the former industrial site of the municipal slaughterhouses of the city. Built in the Saint-Cyprien district outside the city walls between 1828 and 1832, on the plans of the young Toulouse architect Urbain Vitry, they met the expectations of this century of urban transformation, struck by modernization and the desire for hygiene. They ceased all activity in 1988. Entirely rehabilitated by the architects Antoine Stinco and Rémi Papillaut, it manages both the city's collections and those of the FRAC Occitanie-Méditerranée, i.e. about 3,500 works by 950 different artists.

Among the major pieces, the stage curtain entitled La Dépouille du Minotaure en costume d'Arlequin (13 m x 8 m) painted in 1936 by Pablo Picasso and Luis Fernandez for the mise au carreau (visible 6 months a year because of its fragility, according to the exhibitions of the moment). Made in the context of the Popular Front for the play written by Romain Rolland Le Quatorze juillet.

Les Abbatoirs Toulouse
Magnifique lieu d'exposition d'art moderne et contemporain situé comme son nom l'indique dans les anciens abbatoirs de Toulouse (1825) dessinés par l'architecte Urbain Vitry. C'est aussi beau de l'extérieur que de l'intérieur. Les expositions sont assez hétéroclites et parfois surprenantes, de quoi satisfaire les amateurs.

Bel espace de culture
Découverte à l'occasion d'une rétrospective du travail de Peter Sault. Le cadre est très bien, la hauteur sous plafond est appréciable, l'espace bien pensé pour mettre en valeur les tableaux. Il y a de l'espace, on respire. L'entrée donne aussi accès à d'autres expos temporaires à l'étage. Boutique avec énormément de références concernant les livres d'art...

Musée d'art moderne
Très belle reconversion des anciens abattoirs de Toulouse. Ce musée est consacré à l'art moderne. Ne pas louper le rideau de scène dû à Picasso : impressionnant. Le musée est entouré d'un agréable jardin en bord de Garonne. Gratuit le 1er dimanche du mois.

Art contemporain
Situé dans le centre de la ville, vous pouvez aller visiter les expositions d'art contemporain. Sinon un endroit sympathique et le parc autour du musée. Beaucoup de toulousains y vont afin de flaner et lire un livre.
