The Historical Museum of the City of Strasbourg can be found in the Bas-Rhin region of Strasbourg, France. Also known as the Musée historique de la ville de Strasbourg.
The museum chronicles the stormy history of the city, beginning in the early Middle Ages and continuing up to the current day. It is located in the structure that formerly served as the city's slaughterhouse, known as the Grande boucherie.
The museum's comprehensive holdings illustrate the passage of time through representations of the city and the campaign that took place there in 1727 at a size of 1/600, in paintings and other works of art, in military equipment and uniforms, and in goods that are used on a day-to-day basis.
The museum presents a detailed chronological description of the city's progression and elucidates a great deal of information regarding Strasbourg's past. Learning about the Alsatians and their experiences during World War II is intriguing.
Find remains of the life of regular people (costumes, furniture, etc.) and archaeological collections that allow us to reconstruct centuries of living in Strasbourg alongside the major turning points in history and significant leaders of the region, such as General Kléber.
You will find that the regular connections in the city between France and Prussia or Germany and the occupation by the Nazis will stimulate your curiosity.
In addition, there is a section that provides a concise yet educational overview of Strasbourg's role as the capital of the EU.
In June of 2007, the first chapter was completed, and a new museography was developed to portray Strasbourg's history from the Middle Ages up until the French Revolution.
The second chapter, titled 'a draught,' will be a continuation of a summary of history up until the twenty-first century.
