Saturday Exploration - Musee des Augustins

After we saw the parade, we went into this museum to take advantage of free admission. It was a great visit, I strongly recommend it if you ever head into Toulouse. They had different paintings and sculptures from the 14th century through the 19th. Each of the rooms was located in a different section of the museum which encompassed the central garden.



A 15th century sculpture of the virgin Mary which has been restored numerous times.



I love the architecture of all the old churches around Toulouse. I wanted to go up and take a picture of the organ, but the staircase was too old to climb.



There were also a lot of really ornate Renaissance paintings in the giant hall of artwork in the museum. Most of them involved naked people though, so I will forgo posting them in case it violates the Blogger policy.
