Mainly devoted to the Albi painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the eponymous museum is located in the Berbie Palace in the city centre, near the Cathedral of St. Cecilia.
This old 13th-century fortress overlooking the banks of the Tarn was originally the residence of the city's bishops. Like the cathedral, the building is made from red bricks, offering a truly beautiful architectural group in the historic city centre.
Here you will find the world's biggest collection devoted to Toulouse-Lautrec, based on acquisitions as well as many bequests by his family. The works on display to the public are organised into several sections: works from his youth, Montmartre in the 1900s with the famous pictures of Jane Avril and La Goulue, his fascination for female subjects and brothels in particular, Toulouse-Lautrec the colourist, and Toulouse-Lautrec the poster designer (his 31 world-famous posters are all gathered together here).
Round off your visit with a walk on the terraces and in the gardens of the Berbie Palace, which are free to enter!
