Guided Tour

From August 26 through September 30, the guided tours on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 2 p.m. will focus on the exhibitions located in the basement galleries.

Admission + €4

The guided tour on Saturday, May 17 at 2:00 PM is cancelled.

The number of registered visitors is limited to 25 people maximum.
Registration is online via the ticketing system.

The visit will last approximately 1? hours. Meet 10 minutes before the tour in the "espace Frac", on your left as you enter the museum, where the guide will collect you.

The museum is wheelchair accessible and can accommodate disabled visitors and those with reduced mobility. Numerous benches and cane seats are available.

You can extend your discovery of the works of art in the museum's courtyards, which feature a trail of some fifteen sculptures, including a dozen mosaics by Fernand Léger, as well as in the Raymond VI public garden. The latter offers pleasant walks and a breathtaking view of the Garonne and the Bazacle ford.

A truly unique opportunity to discover these works at the crossroads of art and science, and to learn how to listen to the secrets of life.

Catherine JEANDEL, Emeritus Research Director at the CNRS, geochemist and oceanographer, LEGOS, Toulouse
Catherine Jeandel studies marine geochemistry, one of the disciplines that helps us understand how the ocean works, and more specifically the interactions between continents and oceans. Catherine enjoys sharing her passion as a researcher and oceanographer with all audiences, including those who lack access to scientific culture. As part of the ‘Les étoiles brillent pour tous’ association, she gives talks in hospitals and prisons. She is the author or co-author of nearly 150 publications in peer-reviewed journals, five co-written or co-edited books – including a textbook entitled *La Géochimie Marine* (published by Vuibert, translated by OUP Oxford) – and four collections of articles: *Le Climat à découvert*, *L’énergie à découvert*, ‘Water Unveiled’ and ‘The Ocean Unveiled’ (CNRS Editions).

Jérémy Gobé, artist
Jérémy Gobé’s work revolves around a central idea; as Auguste Rodin put it: ‘Art that is alive does not reproduce the past; it continues it’. He seeks out objects without a purpose and unformed works, workers without work and materials without workers. Through his exhibitions in France (Palais de Tokyo, CENTQUATRE-Paris, Fondation Bullukian, etc.) and internationally (Bass Museum, Miami; Hangzhou China Museum; Shanghai Yuz Museum, etc.), his works compel us to reconnect with the living world; drawing on ancient craftsmanship that he adapts, reimagines and transforms, Jérémy Gobé invites us, through the power of the imagination, to reflect on solutions capable of addressing contemporary challenges. More recently, in 2017, he launched Corail Artefact, a project combining art, science, industry and education to save coral reefs.
