In 2001, the city of Lavaur purchased the Sœurs du Christ (Sisters of Christ) former house, made of a large edifice and gardens at the heart of the castrum, with the objective to create a cultural hub in it, which would aggregate a media center, a museum and some old archives.

Currently closed for a redesign, the museum lives through temporary exhibits.

Lavaur is a dynamic city, which hosts many festive and cultural events.
