L'Institut d'Archéologie classique de la Faculté de Sciences Historiques de l'Université de Strasbourg conserve la plus importante collection archéologique universitaire de France. Elle fut constituée dans le dernier quart du XIXe siècle par Adolf Michaelis, premier titulaire de la chaire d'Archéologique Classique, dans un but essentiellement pédagogique. Elle était à l'origine exposée sur une surface avoisinant les 1500m² au premier étage du Palais Universitaire. Elle est désormais conservée dans plusieurs salles situées au rez-de-jardin du bâtiment.

This was a great museum to show example of the Alsacien area and period. The exhibits brought to life the life-style and daily activities of the people in a real life setting. A very worth while museum and worth a visit for sure!

An art museum with a sampling of regional work completed between the 11th and 17th centuries.

This is a very complete artistic history of the area and especially the local cathedral. Items date back 800-900 years and range from statuary to paintings to tapestries to gold and silver accessories. Plus much more. Multiple levels in the building, so plan to spend some time here. Easy to find as it is near the cathedral. Admission is low and for seniors (60 or over) it is cut in half.
4. Stimultania
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
In Strasbourg, Stimultania has brought photography to the public eye for the past twenty years. Stemming from the word "stimulate", Stimultania had broadened its horizons by introducing musical events. Because confrontation is a form of stimulation, the space is used as a creative laboratory with 5 annual exhibitions and 2 concerts per month. Guided tours / brunch-debates / café / School groups: picnic area available

And it IS an interesting story. We knew nothing of the city's history other than it came French at some point. This nicely organized museum puts meat on that bone. Strasbourg's history as a free city, effectively a republic, until Louis XIV made it French, is a remarkable story. Definitely worth a visit.
