Strasbourg Historical Museum, City history museum in Strasbourg, France
The Historical Museum occupies the former Great Butcher's House, a Renaissance building constructed in red sandstone between 1586 and 1588 in Strasbourg's center.
Established in 1920, the museum presents nine centuries of Strasbourg's evolution through 1,700 objects, including military artifacts, paintings, and urban development documentation.
The museum contains the 1727 relief map of Strasbourg commissioned by King Louis XV, which reproduces the city layout at a 1/600 scale.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with adult admission at 7.50 euros and reduced rates at 3.50 euros.
The museum displays the original Iron Man statue, a medieval armor figure that served as a sentinel, while a replica stands in the city square.

In Strasbourg, each step crosses several centuries of history. You walk from medieval alleys lined with half-timbered houses to glass buildings housing European institutions. The cathedral, 142 meters high, has dominated the city since the Middle Ages, while modern structures along the Rhine reflect the city’s European role. The sound of bells blends with tram noise, and the smell of gingerbread drifts through the contemporary administrative districts.
