Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 419 reviews
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.

Elegant 18th-century palace houses three museums: Musee des Beaux Arts, Musee Archeologique and Musee des Arts Decoratifs.
Reviewed By Shelleyash - San Diego, United States
Rohan Palace is next to the Strasbourg Notre Dame Cathedral and houses the Museum of Fine Art (European paintings from the Middle Ages to 1870), the Archeological Museum (Alsatian history from 600,000 BC to 800 AD), and the Rohan Palace rooms (bishops, cardinals residence of the House of Rohan, an ancient French noble family). The first Sunday of every month is free, but the headsets are not free and everything is not available to see. We were happy with all that we viewed on the free Sunday we visited. The Art museum hours are 10 am to 6 pm Tuesday -Sunday, they are closed on Mondays. The Archaeology & Palace/Decorative Arts museums hours are Wed-Sat 2 pm-6 pm, closed on Tuesdays. The fee/admission is 6.5-7 Euros for each museum. There was an option for all three that was 12 or 13 Euros.

On the first floor of the Rohan Palace you will find the Museum of Fine Arts. It has European paintings from the Middle Ages to 1870. Flemish, Italian, Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism and Romantic styles. They are directly across from the Strasbourg Cathedral so if you have time, it is worth a visit. The rooms are well thought out and not swamped with tourists. Free on the first Sunday of the month, 7 Euros to enter go get the day pass for 12 Euros and see all three museums here! Hours are 10 am-6 pm Tuesday -Sunday. Closed on Mondays. The front desk people accept credit cards and speak English.
