Musée des Arts Précieux Paul-Dupuy in Toulouse, with collections of graphic arts and numerous timepieces

In 1909, art collector Paul Dupuy bought Pierre Besson's former 17th-century mansion to house his graphic and decorative arts collections. After being bequeathed to the French state, the museum was enriched by major donations from Toulouse families such as Édouard Gélis and Rozès de Brousse. Today, it is considered the Cluny of Toulouse. Watches, prints, tapestries, ceramics, furniture... a complete panorama from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. After a long period of rejuvenation, the museum has reopened under the delightful name of Musée des Arts précieux! Among the masterpieces, the automaton built by Jean-Eugène Houdin lets its voice be heard for a singing lesson: a real curiosity!

Interessante museu embora seja constituído essencialmente por peças decorativas (bonitos relógios e alguns de complexidade elevada), também possui uma secção dedicada à imagem em movimento (lanternas mágicas e não só).
A visita permite percorrer diversas peças de arte de vários séculos, geografias e utilidade diversas.

Une collection hétéroclite d objets sauvés des destructions et de l.oubli par Pau Dupuy. C'est une collection attachante qui va des montres à travers les siècles et les projecteurs cinéma. Le Musée a été refait et le lieu est agréable avec un accès facilité et un accueil cordial.
