A noter : même en juillet, le musée ferme à 18h.
L'exposition temporaire « Toulouse-Lautrec et l'art de l'affiche » nous a permis de découvrir ou redécouvrir les célèbres affiches de l'artiste, dont certaines, comme celle du Moulin Rouge ou du Cabaret d'Aristide Bruant, sont mondialement connues. Une très belle exposition !
Le parcours est bien conçu, avec des panneaux explicatifs informatifs tout au long de la visite.
Il est important de bien suivre les indications du sens de la visite, car le musée est vaste et vous risqueriez de manquer certaines salles. Enfin, avant de partir, nous avons fait un passage à la boutique pour acheter un souvenir de cette visite vraiment inoubliable.
