Musée Saint-Raymond (in English, Saint-Raymond museum) is the archeological museum of Toulouse, opened in 1892. The site originally was a necropolis, and in later constructions was a hospital for the poor and pilgrims, prison, student residence, stables, barracks and presbytery, eventually becoming a museum in 1891. It is housed in the former Saint-Raymond university college dating from the sixteenth century that borders Basilica of Saint-Sernin.
The building has been renovated and reconstructed several times. It preserves and exhibits archaeological collections from protohistory to the early Middle Ages, mainly from the Celtic, Roman and early Christian periods, much from the Toulouse region.
Staff very friendly even with my rusty French. The way they display the collection is very informative and interesting.

There are activities for kids and old sculptures. It's nice but if you don't go... Nothing really matters!

Great place to discover ancient Toulouse. Their way of display is just amazing. There is a small cafe in the garden where you can enjoy the sun while having a cafe.

The surprise was the huge number of marble busts on display, recovered from a Roman villa about 30 miles from Toulouse. We only popped in for an hour because it was raining and stayed twice as long. There's a shop and cafe on the site which is well worth a visit.
