Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame, Art museum in Strasbourg, France.
The Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame is an art museum housed in a Gothic and Renaissance building complex near the cathedral. Its galleries display medieval and Renaissance works including paintings, sculptures, and stained glass across several levels.
The museum was founded in 1931 to preserve artworks connected to the cathedral. Many pieces come from the time of the French Revolution, when sculptures were removed from the church building for safekeeping.
The museum displays works tied to the cathedral's artistic traditions, including sculptures and stained glass that reflect the region's craftsmanship. These collections reveal the artistic values and methods that shaped generations of local artists.
The museum sits a short walk from the cathedral and is easy to find by following the old-town streets. Most visitors spend about two hours exploring the galleries and seeing all the works at a comfortable pace.
One of the most striking possessions is a Romanesque stained glass window depicting the Head of Christ that dates from early medieval times. This window showcases glass-making techniques that have been preserved across centuries.
