Georges Labit

Machine-translated from the French article

Georges Labit (the t is pronounced), born 12 February 1862 in Toulouse and died 9 February 1899 in the same city, was a French merchant, traveler and collector. The objects he gathered during his travels were, after his death, transferred by his father, Antoine Labit, to the city of Toulouse, enabling the opening of the Musée Georges-Labit. Son of Antoine Labit, a wealthy entrepreneur from Toulouse, and Marie Claué, a well-off woman originally from Agen, Louis-Victor-Georges Labit spent his childhood in Toulouse.
