It's finally the first official weekend we have in Toulouse! We have decided to see 2 museums, which are listed in the title!

But first, Lunch!


We went to Shin-ya Ramen at Palais de Justice for some yummy Ramen.











I ordered some Shouyu Ramen and Gyoza.

Yums!








After having our fill, we went to the Capitole de Toulouse museum.

This was the entrance to the museum.











What we saw when we walked in to the indoor area, was this area with lots of beautiful paintings!



I couldn't resist and had to take some pictures here!


Just look at this amazing place!



Even the ceilings had paintings on it!

















There was just rooms after rooms of paintings on the walls, the ceilings and statues all around!

Here's a video to show you the beautiful area we were in!


There was also the outside area of the museum, which was just an open area with a few statues up top.

We exited the museum to look at it from the outside, what surprised us was the Christmas fair going on right in front of the museum! There were things to buy, things to eat, and even hot red wine to drink! However i didn't buy anything there.




Next, we were off to Musée Des Augustins!

However, on the way there we saw this cute little fountain where i had to take another picture!


Anddd i took another picture in this alley, since there was no one in the alley!


We finally reached the museum which was just about a 10 minute walk from Capitole, however the nearest station to this place is Esquirol. We decided to walk to explore to area more.

The good thing about this place was, it's free for students! Even though we weren't students here, as long as you showed your student pass, you get free entry in to the museum!







The first thing we saw when we entered was this open space with a garden in the middle. Had to take some more pictures again!








There were a lot of plants in the garden, but their names were written in French, so i could only guess what they were.. :(














This museum had more statues than the previous one, it was fun trying to pose in the same direction!
