Musée Saint-Raymond Museum

Address: Musée Saint‑Raymond (Toulouse) - central Toulouse, France

Musée Saint-Raymond is Toulouse’s archaeology museum that presents sculptures, inscriptions, mosaics and everyday objects from antiquity through the medieval period.

The collection is strongest for Roman-era material recovered around Toulouse and includes sarcophagi, portrait reliefs and archaeological finds from local excavations.

The museum occupies a historical building in central Toulouse and interprets the city’s ancient past within a civic museum setting.

It is located near other central Toulouse landmarks and is accessible from the city center.

• City Archaeology Focus: Functions as Toulouse’s principal archaeology museum with a strong emphasis on Roman-era material from the ancient city of Tolosa and its surroundings.

What to See#

• Roman Galleries: Galleries of Roman sculpture and funerary stonework recovered from the Toulouse area, including sarcophagi and portrait reliefs that illustrate provincial Roman art.
• Regional Archaeology Rooms: Rooms dedicated to archaeological finds from local excavations, including mosaics, ceramics and small finds that chart the region’s past from antiquity into the medieval period.

Musée Saint‑Raymond (Musée archéologique) is located beside the Basilique Saint‑Sernin in central Toulouse. It’s an easy walk from the city centre - roughly a 5-7 minute walk from Capitole metro station (line A). The site is in the historic centre, so most visitors arrive on foot or by metro; nearby public car parks serve the area if you drive.

• Located adjacent to the basilica of Saint‑Sernin, combine both visits to place the museum's Roman and medieval collections in context and make the most of the central Toulouse setting.
• The museum is relatively small-plan 45-90 minutes and check opening hours in advance, since times can be shorter than those of larger regional museums.
