We were really looking forward to visiting this museum and when we arrived there was a very long queue to get to the desk to pay.I think they must have been having a bad day because mere was only one chap trying to handle crowds of people.

Besides Toulouse-Lautrec is born in Albi, he is also very famous for his affiche with the dancers from the Moulin Rouge. Very famous French painter with a dramatic history. The museum has been re-arranged since it is classified at the Unesco, so it is event prettier and interesting! More

I visited in 2009 and liked it so much went again last week. The gallery has been improved but was disappointed the larger works seem to have disappeared.

We liked this when we visited in 2008 but since then it has, we hear, been upgraded. Also do not miss the cathedral in Albi - strange in brick with the most extraordinary painting on the West wall More
