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!

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.
