Musée alsacien (Strasbourg)

The Musée alsacien (Alsatian museum) is a museum in Strasbourg in the Bas-Rhin department of France. It opened on 11 May 1907 and is dedicated to all aspects of (mostly rural) daily life in pre-industrial and early industrial Alsace. It contains over 5000 exhibits and is notable for the reconstruction of the interiors of several traditional houses.

The museum also features a rich collection of artifacts documenting the everyday life of Alsatian Jews. It is located in several Renaissance timber framed houses on the Quai Saint-Nicolas.

In 1917 it was bought by the city of Strasbourg.

Another, quite large, Musée alsacien exist in the city of Haguenau, 30 kilometers north of Strasbourg.

Like the thoughtful collection of the museum. It’s nothing that wows you but gives you all aspects of life and death in the region.

Cozy place filled with local culture. You won't want to leave. The building itself is the main highlight of the museum. Note the green stem in all wine glasses.

Actually pretty cool! If you don’t speak German or French you might not get all the signs, but you’ll still be good and enjoy yourself.
