About This Museum

People often wander into our little Musée Calbet looking for the 'real' Tarn-et-Garonne, the one beyond the guidebooks. They find it here, in a former 17th-century townhouse that has seen generations of Grisollais live and work. You won't find grand, intimidating art, but rather the humble, beautiful objects of daily life—a painted wardrobe from a local farmhouse, the tools of a long-forgotten woodturner. It’s a quiet conversation with the past, and you leave feeling like you’ve been let in on a wonderful local secret.

Collection Highlights

The heart of the collection is its everyday finery: exquisite regional furniture, particularly the distinctive 'armoire peinte' with its folk-art motifs. You'll also discover the legacy of local sculptor Arthur Battut and fascinating artifacts from the town's historical tile-making and distilling industries.

Visitor Information

You'll find us at 15 Rue Jean de Comere; just look for the handsome brick-and-timber building near the church. It's a cozy museum, so an hour or two is plenty to soak it all in.

Architecture & Building

A classic Grisollais house from the 1600s, built from the region's characteristic pale brick and dark timber framing, with a wonderfully creaky staircase.
