Why Les Abattoirs matters
Once a slaughterhouse, Les Abattoirs now houses modern and contemporary art. Its collection includes a large stage curtain painted by Picasso. It sits beside the Garonne, a pleasant walk from the centre. Combine it with a riverside walk, since the museum sits right beside the water.
Talking points
- A giant Picasso painted curtain is its highlight.
- It stands beside the Garonne.
- The building is a former abattoir.
