Nice museum with an interesting mix of modern and contemporary art. Some pieces were really…read moreimpressive and unique, though a few exhibits felt a bit underwhelming. The space is well organized and easy to walk through, and it wasn't too crowded which made it more enjoyable. Worth a visit if you're into modern art.

Fabulous. Contemporary art usually goes right over my head but that wasn't a big piece of the…read moredisplays here when I visited Strasbourg in November 2021. Modern art, yes. Political art, not so much. My visit started with a large exhibit explaining the history and origin of the French national anthem, La Marseillaise. Me, I love a rounding rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. When done properly, it gives me goosebumps. So to have this opportunity to learn about this song was interesting and enjoyable. From the "Chant de Guerre" that was the battle hymn for the Army of the Rhine and adapted to become Chant des Marsellois and subsequently La Marseillaise. From 1792 and through the 19th and 20th centuries, it represented a rallying hymn in the struggles for freedom. It was even taken up by Chinese students demonstrating in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Other exhibits included sculptures and art pieces and portraits, many of them absolutely interesting. I particularly enjoyed "Three Elements" (1925) by Vasilly Kandinsky and bought a print of it in the gift shop. Masks are required throughout the museum and QR codes were checked at entry. The cloakroom is currently closed. Expect to spend at least 90 minutes touring the art. [Review 16448 overall - 82 in France - 1956 of 2021.]

Excellent museum dedicated to the Metz, France area from Gallo-Roman to Renaissance times!…read more Some of my favorite parts of the museums were the Gallo-Roman baths, the Altar of Mithras, and the medieval painted ceiling with weird "animals." The museum is a bit of maze. However it is thoughtfully organized with the understanding that people can easily get lost. There are guides situated throughout the museum to guide you in a forward direction so that you don't get lost. Be patient. If you don't get to see an adjacent room in the moment, just know that you will get there. There is a time and a place. Located right next to the Cathedral Saint Etienne! Very quiet. Not crowded on a Monday. Small but interesting, and not overwhelming at all. Took me about 2 hours and I tend to linger and sit.

A wonderful museum, with art and artifacts of the Metz region, dating from at least 100 years…read morebefore the time before Christ through present day. Everything was well-displayed and labeled, although most was in French only. We used Google to help us with translations. There are Roman baths, full skeletal remains in graves from an ancient cemetery, fine examples of woodworking, pottery, sculptures, glass, Renaissance paintings, architectural pieces, and much more! 5 euros per ticket, and my husband and I spent a full 3 hours here. We did not finish viewing the whole museum, but no worries. The tickets are good for 24 hours, so we can return to see the last of the exhibits tomorrow.

A wonderful, well organized museum that effectively brings Strasbourg's rich history to life…read morethrough creative and effective narratives (except for one) and tactile exhibits. My reason for 3 stars however is the surprising and distressing downplay of the plight of Strasbourg's jews during the nazi occupation and the heroes and villains that determined their ultimate fate. Aside from a few subtle references (there were occasional mentions) there was virtually no mention of the rise of antisemitism and the horrors inflicted on the community. The narrative chosen by the museum felt intentional leaving me to feel that 80 years later France is still ambivalent about its relationship with its Jewish community. They could have made mention of any of the numerous stories to tell such as: The "Nazi University of Strasbourg's" use of fresh Jewish specimens to experiment on as guinea pigs and where Dr. August Hirt stored them in a special liquid until needed. The posthumous award given to Chief Rabbi of France, Rene Hirschler (who was awarded the Medal of Resistance), who at great risk helped British officers flee to safety and remained in communication with the community in an effort to help them keep their spirits up. The award also given to Strasbourg Police Commissioner, Alfred Thimmesch, for -- at great risk--creating false documents for Jewish families, saving dozens and countless generations in the process. ......but no. And my feelings about this beautiful city and France in general is sadly diminished as a result.
