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 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.
