Strasbourg Archaeological Museum, Archaeological museum in Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg Archaeological Museum occupies the basement of Palais Rohan and displays objects from prehistoric times through the early Middle Ages. The exhibition presents findings from excavation sites across the region and surrounding areas.
The museum was founded in the 18th century, making it the oldest in Strasbourg. Following major renovation work in the late 1980s, it now displays objects that reveal how the region evolved from ancient times through the early Middle Ages.
The collections show Roman mosaics and ancient statues that reveal how people lived in this region hundreds of years ago. You can see what people made and valued in those times.
The museum sits in central Strasbourg and is easy to reach, with accessible entry to the basement level. The quieter hours offer the best chance to explore the display without crowds.
The museum holds the Casque d'apparat, an elaborately decorated Roman helmet, and the tomb of Valerius Rufus, showing how wealthy people honored their dead. These objects are rare examples of the craftsmanship of early Rhine-region civilizations.
