Well, yes: as the name already says this place at Toulouse was once a slaughterhouse built in 1823. Since the year 2000 it hosts something completely different, an art museum exhibiting modern and contemporary art. The work of Fernand Léger in front of the building is just a small appetizer, inside you’ll find around 3,800 works of art.
Les Abattoirs is located close to the river Garonne in the St-Cyprien neighborhood of Toulouse. It consists of the museum showing changing exhibitions, a bookstore, library and a restaurant. When I was there it exhibited 150 artworks connecting artists and farmers; let yourself by surprised what awaits you.
