Historical Museum of the City of Strasbourg

One of the most complete and well-presented city museums I’ve ever visited. If you're curious about Strasbourg’s history, this is a must-see!

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.

I really enjoyed this small but aesthetically pleasing museum. A few interactive pieces. Models of the historic city. A good overview of the history of Strasbourg I'd say. Lots of weapons and objects to look at. I did go for free on the first Sunday of the month.

A not very big museum, which tries to present the history of the city. I don't know if it succeeds, rather it marks some important moments in history. I found out here an interesting thing: because of the marshy terrain, part of the city is built on wooden pillars embedded deep in the ground (like in Venice or Hamburg). You need about an hour to visit it.

It is a nice museum in general. I believe it would me more enjoyable if you are interested in history. It has so many small items which enrich the exhibition but can make you distracted. I was visiting with a kid, that is not the default settings I would say. The city plan and the virtual video on the 2nd floor is the best part, sadly it is only in French

This is a very interesting Museum which is, as you might expect, all about the history of Strasbourg. There are many exhibits on display including clothes, artefacts and cannons. The most interesting fact that I learned was that it was a British Politician who proposed in 1949 that the city be the Capital of Europe...ironic given the fact that following 'Brexit' we are no longer a Member of the EEC. The best thing is that being over 65 entry only cost me 3.50 Euros and I spent a good hour walking around it.

Displays and multimedia were well done. I recommend getting the free audio tour device. The audio uses your location within the museum to present information and some contextual history. We spent 2+ hours to complete the museum, listening to each station and were impressed by the presentation.
