Asquali

A visit to the Explorarome is a “scentsational” experience… Follow experimented guides to explore a fragrant world of smells, scents, and aromas. A dedicated specialist, our Aroma Sculptor Michael MOISSEEFF, whose scientific research is dedicated to the olfactory sense and smell, invites you to rediscover the very neglected sense of smell… The guides tour starts with a stroll through a fascinating scent garden where several hundreds of aromatic plant species will titillate your nostrils and sharpen your sense of smell.In the lab you can observe how our aroma sculptor tames the volatility of aromatic matter to transform it into charming and surprising perfumes, scents, flavours or aromas. You will then be able to challenge your senses in our “Smell Museum”, where several olfactory exhibitions entice all to “play with their nose!”. Throughout the visit you will enjoy clear scientific explanations and will understand how everyday life can be enhanced by a keen sense of smell. Visits by reservation only – Please phone to book.

This is the huge museum in the center of the city. With very few other visitors, I enjoyed myself watching things inside slowly.

Museum of natural History

Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France

As always, this Museum of Natural History offers a wonderful experience both for adults, teenagers and kids. Following a thorough renovation a couple of years ago, this one is particularly interesting. You learn a lot about the Earth and Universe, plants and animals. It’s educative and a lot of fun. Moreover most of temporary exhibitions are very interesting as “Extinctions”, a great way back in history to understand how why and how species disappeared in the past or may disappear in the future.

Musee Saint-Raymond

The museum Saint-Raymond, preserves and enhances an archaeological site that is among the largest in France.Push its doors to discover the Roman town of Tolosa, the sculptures of the villa Chiragan, the remains of a necropolis from late antiquity.

Reviewed By 18philippeb - Toulouse, France

Close to Saint-Sernin Basilica you’ll notice this brick-built medieval building. The collection organized on three floors shows many sarcophagus in the basement from the antiquity to the Christian Era. The first floor is fully dedicated to the artefacts found in a villae from Martres-Tolosane (50 km South of Toulouse) and the second floor gives an overview of pre-Roman and Roman period, until the establishment of the Wisigoth kingdom. This kingdom (418-507) is the topic of a wonderful temporary exhibition. 8€ for the exhibition and the permanent collection.

Ailes Anciennes Toulouse

Since 35 years, the association Ailes Anciennes Toulouse saves and rebuilds a unique collection of aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, gliders and engines). Our collection, which is among the largest in France, has been collected and is maintained by a team of passionate and dedicated volunteers.

Reviewed By sandermoll - Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands

Fantastic museum with old aircraft. Although they are quite packed on a relatively small area, you can walk everywhere and touch all of them. Even in the hangar. No fences or whatever between you and the planes. The museum also renovates old aircraft on site. All done by volunteers and aviation enthusiasts. Entry for adults only 6 euros. If you are really interested in info on the planes on display they can provide a selfmade folder with a map. Both in French and English. Very useful. Staff very helpful and true aviation lovers. Small gift shop on site. Parking free. The aeroscopia museum is adjacent to the parking lot as well.
