About
The Saint-Raymond Museum is an archaeological museum in Toulouse, in the Occitania region of southern France. Its address is 1 ter place Saint-Sernin, and it stands beside the Basilica of Saint-Sernin, so the two make a natural pairing for a single visit.
What you will see
The museum's collection centres on Roman antiquity. Its rooms hold a range of Roman artefacts and ancient sculptures, along with well-preserved mosaics and everyday objects from the period. Together they give a picture of how people in the region lived, worked and decorated their homes in ancient times.
Why it suits a visit
- Roman heritage: a direct way to explore the city's past beyond its medieval and later landmarks.
- Mosaics and sculpture: pieces that reward slow looking, especially for visitors interested in ancient art.
- Everyday objects: smaller items that bring daily life in antiquity into focus.
- Next to Saint-Sernin: the basilica is right beside the museum, so you can visit both without travelling far.
If you enjoy history and archaeology, the museum offers a focused and rewarding stop. It is equally suited to a short visit between other sights or to a longer afternoon spent among its collections.
