"Today, Strasbourg is considered the “capital of a reconciled Europe,” but it had to struggle through the Germanic Holy Roman Empire, the Royal Free City, the French Revolution, and a few assassinations before it earned that distinction. Open since 1920, the Historical Museum retraces these political, economic, and cultural years through paintings and military artifacts. A more recent addition to the building, which actually served as the city’s slaughterhouse in 1587, highlights the period from 1800 to when the Council of Europe was created in 1949, includingNapoléon’s three visits."

Very informative local museum exploring Strasbourg's history as a city with one foot in Germany and one in France (though, it has to be said, it's a bit more interested in the latter). I was surprised to find we'd spent two hours going round the array of fascinating exhibits. My favourites were the four wonderful paintings once commissioned by the gardeners' guild

All of the workers were so helpful and kind, even though I could not speak French they were so understanding. Plus the museum was beyond amazing. I learnt so much about the history of Strasbourg and everything was so interesting, I did not understand how the time had passed. I highly recommend visiting this museum if you are in Strasbourg.

In depth museum about the history of Strasbourg in a way that was not boring at all. The model of the city was amazing to see. It is 2 floors and takes about 2 hours to see everything thoroughly. Also the automatic audio guide was nice!

Strasbourg City Museum is a captivating destination that showcases the city’s rich history and culture across two floors. The collection features a remarkable array of ancient artifacts, from intricate pottery to textiles, each telling a story of the region's heritage. Strasbourg City Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in the city’s past and its vibrant cultural identity.

Small, but incredible museum. Security was a bit much. One security guard sailed straight into me, demanding that I show him my ticket for entrance. I felt like I was being unreasonably watched the entire time, as if they thought I was going to do something warranting an incident report or police response. One security guard walked past me, and as he passed he made three cryptic coughs, as if to signal to another security guard or employee in the next room that I was entering soon. It was actually quite discomforting. So much so that I decided NOT to spend my money in the boutique on the way out. Regardless, the rest of the experience was incredible and informative, and highly recommended to anyone who would like to learn a brief summary of the history of Alsace from 5000 BC up to the Second World War and implications of the present. Thank you.
