Toulouse Art Nouveau. Période 1890 - 1920 ("Toulouse Art Nouveau: 1890-1920 Period") is a guide that helps you to discover the city's Art Nouveau treasures and outline the contours of a specific Toulouse style, combining regionalism and southern art, a troubadour, Art Nouveau, bourgeois style marked by a great variety of ornamentation: stained glass, wrought iron, volutes and mosaics. Seventy-three buildings, houses and various premises are all presented in detail, such as the Au Capitole department store (Primark), Musee George Labit or Cervantes Institute, inviting you to stroll through Proustian times.
The Toulouse architects of the period were influenced by Haussmann's newly opened streets (Alsace Lorraine, Metz and Ozenne) and remained mostly faithful to 19th-century bourgeois architecture.FURNÉMONT, Geneviève, 2019 / Toulouse Art Nouveau. Période 1890 - 1920
