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.

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.

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.

Musee du Vieux-Toulouse

Reviewed By Kingpop - Sydney, Australia

I visited in the first week of October as a follow up to the Musee Raymond and was not disappointed. The building itself is a good part of its interest and is filled with artifacts that give a glimpse into life in Toulouse 300 plus years ago. The welcoming volunteers supplied me with a truly comprehensive book in English to guide me and I left with a feeling of really understanding the old city I was visiting. When I took a walking tour the next day I already felt I had laid the ground-work and had my questions ready.
