Free museum access for students

From October 12 to 25, 2026, students in Toulouse will be able to enter several museums and monuments for free as part of the Saisons Étudiantes program. This includes both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, but participants must present a valid student ID, such as a student card, to gain entry.

Biannual student initiative

The Saisons Étudiantes program runs twice a year, with the next edition planned from March 8 to 21, 2027. This initiative aims to encourage student engagement with cultural institutions by offering them free access to a variety of events and exhibitions.
