Alsatian Museum, Regional ethnographic museum in Strasbourg, France.
Description
The Alsatian Museum is a regional ethnographic museum with over 5000 objects housed in three interconnected Renaissance timber-framed buildings along the Ill river. The collection displays household items, tools, and clothing that record everyday life from pre-industrial times.
History
The museum was founded in 1902 and opened in 1907 as a response to preserve regional identity during a period of external cultural pressures. This effort reflected a desire to protect local traditions against dominant outside influences.
Culture

Practical
The museum sits near the Porte de l'Hôpital tram stop and is easy to reach by public transport. Plan to spend several hours wandering through the rooms at your own pace to absorb the details.
