Les Abattoirs, Musee - Frac Occitanie Toulouse is a modern and contemporary art museum opened in 2000 in a 19th-century heritage building on the left bank of the Garonne river. As part of its public cultural service function, the museum provides numerous activities related to understanding newer forms of artistic expression such as minimalism or conceptualism.

This museum building first served as an abattoir between 1823 and 1988, when its activity came to a halt. In 1991, a mixed syndicate between Toulouse and Midi-Pyrenees decided to create a space for modern and contemporary art on site, selecting architects Antoine Stinco and Remi Papillault to design this new gallery space, which officially opened as Les Abattoirs Museum in 2000.
