Historical Museum of the City of Strasbourg

Super

Ok museum, lots of information from different time frames for the city. But the message is not very focused and the museum requires time and patience to absorb all information.

Awesome history museum of the city. Covers a lot of what and how Strasbourg came to be from the 1200s to 1950 with a little bit of history before and after that time. Very interesting and definitely worth going to ~ 2.5 hours if you are reading the main plaques or listening to the audio guide.

Founded in 1920, the museum occupies the building of the former Great Butcher of Strasbourg (built in 1586-1588), a historical monument. On June 30, 2007, after twenty years of closure for works, the museum reopens its doors to present a first slice of the history of Strasbourg, ranging from the first traces of civilization to the year 1800; At the end of 2013, the reopening is complete and all the rooms of the museum open to the public. I recommend you to visit this museum!

We enjoyed it, very beautiful interior
