Located in the Grande Boucherie, the city's old slaughterhouse from 1587, Musée historique de la ville de Strasbourg is dedicated to displaying artifacts that tell the tumultuous tale of Strasbourg. One of these artifacts is the "Grüselhorn," a horn that was blown every evening at 10:00 p.m. during medieval times to order Jewish people out of the city. Examine the 1/600 scale models depicting the city in 1727. The recently renovated collections span the Middle Ages to the French Revolution, including paintings, graphic arts, costumes, furniture, military weapons, uniforms, and objects from daily life.

  • Fascinating history of Strasbourg generally from the dark ages through the formation of the European Union. Focus on education with hands-on, love putting the metal helmet on and taking a picture. Enjoyed the era from the Franco Prussian war through the first and second world wars. Much to learn about that. Nothing to speak of from the Bronze Age or Roman age. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Remember to take your earbuds if you want a free audio tour.
  • If you want to discover deeper history of Strasbourg this museum has the complete collection from the early ages to modern period is worth the visit.
