About

The Musée Saint‑Raymond in Toulouse is a remarkable museum dedicated to archaeology and ancient history. Established in 1892, it occupies a former college building dating back to the 16th century, just beside the Basilica of Saint‑Sernin. Its collections trace the region’s past from prehistory to the early Middle Ages, with a particular focus on the Roman era. Visitors can admire statues of emperors, intricate sarcophagi, mosaics, and everyday objects that reveal the life of ancient Tolosa. One of its highlights is the extraordinary ensemble of sculptures from the Roman villa of Chiragan, considered among the finest in Europe. The museum also offers interactive displays and educational programs, making history accessible to all ages. By preserving and presenting these treasures, the Musée Saint‑Raymond connects Toulouse’s modern identity with its classical heritage, offering a journey through time in the heart of the city.
