The venue (whose name translates as the slaughterhouse) opened in 2000 in a former municipal slaughterhouse from 1823.[3] It houses important works that were assembled from a specifically acquired collection and from several other existing collections, among which art collector Anthony Denney's donated collection, part of gallerist Daniel Cordier's donated collection, the former centre régional d'art contemporain de Labège collection and the former Frac Midi-Pyrénées collection.[1][4] The museum's collection and the Frac's collection remain administratively separate.[5]
