Museum housed in Albi's Palais de la Berbie, with the world's largest collection of Toulouse-Lautrec works.
At the foot of Albi cathedral, the Palais de la Berbie dominates the Tarn with majesty. The Toulouse-Lautrec Museum was established in 1922 within the walls of this 12th century building, bringing together the most important collection of this Albigensian painter in the world. It houses more than 1,000 works, paintings, lithographs and drawings, as well as the 31 posters that made the artist famous. This exceptional collection retraces his entire work, from his youthful paintings to his final canvas, including his years in Montmartre.

Nombreuses œuvres de Toulouse Lautrec et d'autres peintres et sculpteurs
Mais des tableaux mal éclairés ou en face d'une fenêtre entraînant des reflets très gênants
Also, some works by his famous instructors and friends.
Descriptions in French, English, and Spanish (Castellano). I saw that in each room, there are large laminated card with the descriptions in other languages (German, Occitan, and others). The old building housing the collection itself would be worth visit. The museum store is much more reasonably priced than most. The staff is very kind. They are obviously proud that Lautrec is their home town boy. Really very nice experience.
C’est effectivement le lieu idéal où découvrir les oeuvres du célèbre peintre postimpressionniste.
On peut y voir également des oeuvres d’autres artistes modernes (au sens de la peinture) du début du 20eme.
La réfection des salles a été bien réalisée et les peintures ou lithos sont bien mises en valeur quoique certaines sont dans une pénombre relative ou exposées derrière des vitres (avec réflexions).
Si vous prévoyez de visiter la cathédrale et le musée préférez acheter un billet combiné au syndicat d’initiative afin d’économiser quelques euros.
