Palais Rohan

This is basically 3 museums, on 3 different floors. The day pass would be best if you want to see more than 2 museums. There was also a temporary exhibition. It was amazing to see, but I wish there was an audio guide or a guided tour. There was a written guide which was nice, but it would be much better if you could walk and listen. Also the layout of the museums were a bit confusing. In some rooms there was only French descriptions. There is a locker room that does not need coins.

A beautiful building and art. A lot of religious art in the Beaux Arts museum section but a good variety of later art genres. The archaeology museum in its basement is small but well put together with a few reconstructed Roman rooms which work well. The decorative arts museum has the bedrooms of Napoléon and Marie Antoinette in it. Worth a visit, opposite the cathedral. You can buy a 24 hr pass that lets you into all three museums in the palace.

The museum is definitely worth a visit! We visited the museum on the first Sunday of the month, so the entrance was free. Not only can you walk trough the furnished old palace rooms, but there also is an exhibition with artefacts from times up to the Stone Age! Really impressive! And on top, the staff was really friendly.

Has 3 museums which you can visit individually or on a combined ticket. Worth a visit for an hour or two, especially on a rainy day in Strasbourg!

Must-see museum in Strasbourg. From the permanent exhibition in the basement with a nice history. And the ground level with the official ballroom, meeting rooms. The first level has an impressive collection of paintings well over hundreds of years old. The advantage would be to visit the museum on a cloudy day. The sunlight reflects on the paintings too much and in a professional way the lights need to be adjusted.

A large and beautiful palace, located near the cathedral. It houses three museums: the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Decorative Arts. The most interesting is the last one, because here there are a lot of rooms/halls furnished and arranged as in the years when the palace was built.

Once again, very happy that my press card grants free entry bc it is quite expensive to enter for all 3 (or 2 as the Fine Arts was randomly closed) museums. I decided to go to the Decorative Arts section with the palace rooms and furniture. I’ve seen more impressive rooms in many palaces and houses but these were still lovely enough to wander. Also very helpful to have full English placards in each room describing the furniture, furnishings and objects d’art. Photos allowed. Definitely great to visit on a bad weather day like I had. Warning there is a lunch break around 1 or 2 when the museums are closed, with ZERO signage anywhere about this. Typically European 🤦🏽‍♀️

Palais Rohan is a Baroque palace completed in 1742 for Cardinal Rohan, the Prince‑Bishop of Strasbourg. Situated beside Strasbourg Cathedral and overlooking the Ill River, its façades emulate grand Parisian townhouses. The palace represented the reinstatement of French and Catholic authority in Alsace, in contrast to the Germanic architecture of its adjacent buildings. Today, the palace houses three municipal museums.
