The Bemberg Foundation is housed in a magnificent private house built in the century

The Fondation Bemberg opened its doors in 1995 in the Hôtel d'Assézat, a magnificent private home built in the 16th century. Georges Bemberg, who was born in Argentina in 1915 and died in 2011, spent much of his life acquiring works of art. A rich and varied collection (of around a thousand pieces), covering several centuries from the turn of the Renaissance to the beginnings of modern art.

The second floor is devoted to the Old Masters. In interiors that have evolved over the centuries, furniture (Boulle commode, Hache sideboard, etc.) and objets d'art (goldsmiths, ceramics, enamels, etc.) rub shoulders with paintings by illustrious artists from the French, Flemish and Dutch schools. Among the highlights are oils on wood by the German artist Lucas Cranach, including the famous Venus and Cupid, pastels by Carriera Rosalba, vedutte by Canaletto or Guardi..

The second floor showcases Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting , including a number of bronzes by Rodin. Among the Impressionists (Boudin, Monet, Pissarro, Berthe Morisot...), the graphic arts cabinet features works by Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Forain, Modigliani... then come the Pointillists (Cross, Signac...) and the Fauves (Matisse, Derain, Marquet, Dufy, Van Dongen...). Fantin-Latour, Utrillo and Sarah Bernhardt complete the picture.

Temporary exhibitions, guided tours of the collection and events for young visitors make this museum a must-see in Toulouse.

L hôtel particulier à été rénové et les guides actuels ne tiennent pas compte de la nouvelle muséographie. Attention pas de bagagerie et ue fouille à l entrée, la qualité des œuvres est toujours magique. La galerie des portraits n est plus, les peintures ventilées selon d autres thématiques. Les œuvres de Pierre Bonnard restent regroupées, les peintures Renaussance et Flamandes ont été nettoyées, et le lieu magique. A noter la collection de Vierge Marie qui dialoguent à travers les différents siècles...une très belle adresse, un très bon moment...

Je recommande la visite guidée du musée, elle est très bien. Cependant, le service est déplorable. Nous avions besoin d'une facture pour nos billets, nous avons appelé plus de 20 fois sans aucune réponse au téléphone. Nous avons envoyé des emails à l'accueil et à la direction, même au chatbox, sans aucune réponse. Le jour de la visite, la personne à la réception nous a dit qu'ils allaient nous envoyer la facture sans problème dans quelques jours... aucune nouvelle depuis. Est-il vraiment si difficile de fournir un service de qualité?
