Musée Alsacien

The Musée Alsacien (Alsatian Museum) in Strasbourg is dedicated to preserving the regional identity and daily life of Alsace during the 18th and 19th centuries. Founded in 1902 and officially opened to the public on May 11, 1907, the museum is housed in three traditional former homes linked by stairways. It displays over 5,000 artifacts, including furniture, costumes, and tools, across 30 rooms. The site has been restructured to ensure wheelchair access to all exhibition rooms.

Currently, the museum is closed for renovation works until 2028. Travelers planning a visit should be aware of this closure and consider alternative cultural sites in Strasbourg. Prior to its closure, admission was €7.50 for adults, €3.50 for groups, students under 25, and seniors, with free entry for children under 18. The museum offered free visits, guided tours, and educational packs in French.
