Les Abattoirs, Musée d’Art moderne et contemporain de Toulouse et FRAC Midi-Pyrénées Museums in Toulouse

Les Abattoirs, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Toulouse and FRAC Midi-Pyrénées, is an emblematic cultural site in Toulouse.

A historical and cultural place

Housed in the town's former slaughterhouses, a 19th-century building, the Abattoirs opened in 2000.
They are the result of the merger of the Toulouse Museum of Modern Art and the Midi-Pyrénées Regional Contemporary Art Fund (FRAC), making it a unique place in France.

A place of plural art

The Abattoirs house a permanent collection of modern and contemporary art as well as temporary exhibitions.
The venue also offers a multidisciplinary program, including concerts, performances and screenings.
The museum's collection includes approximately 3,880 works and objects of all origins, which trace the history of modern and contemporary art, from 1934 to the present day.

A place for dissemination and sharing

The Abattoirs' mission is to disseminate modern and contemporary art and make it accessible to as many people as possible.
They offer cultural and educational activities for all audiences as well as off-site activities in the region.
