Musée alsacien, Folk culture museum at 23 quai Saint-Nicolas, Strasbourg, France
The museum occupies three interconnected traditional buildings displaying 5,000 artifacts illustrating daily life in Alsace across 30 exhibition rooms.
Established in 1902 and opened in 1907, the museum aimed to preserve regional identity during a period of strong Germanic influence in the territory.
The collection presents domestic objects, traditional costumes, religious items, and reconstructed living spaces that reflect Alsatian customs from the 18th century.
The museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Monday between 10:00 and 18:00, with admission fees of €7.50 for adults and free entry for under 18s.
Interior spaces connect through an elaborate network of staircases and passages, creating a labyrinth-like structure within the historic buildings.

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.
Strasbourg offers numerous locations for photography beyond its main attractions. The city features historic houses, medieval bridges, hidden courtyards, and architectural landmarks. From the Egyptian House to the University Palace, from ancient wine cellars to traditional Alsatian buildings, these sites present authentic views of Strasbourg's heritage.
