===Museums=== As of 2020, the city of Strasbourg has eleven municipal museums (including ''Aubette 1928''),<ref>{{cite web |title=Museums |url=https://en.musees.strasbourg.eu/ |publisher=Musées de la ville de Strasbourg |access-date=3 January 2020 |archive-date=26 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191226012927/https://en.musees.strasbourg.eu/ |url-status=live }}</ref> eleven university museums,<ref>{{cite web |title=Jardin des Sciences - Et aussi |url=https://jardin-sciences.unistra.fr/patrimoine-universitaire/decouvrir/et-aussi/ |publisher=University of Strasbourg |access-date=3 January 2020 |archive-date=1 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200401050023/http://jardin-sciences.unistra.fr/patrimoine-universitaire/decouvrir/et-aussi/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> and at least two privately owned museums (''Musée vodou'' and ''Musée du barreau de Strasbourg''). Five communes in the metropolitan area also have museums (see below), three of them dedicated to military history. ====Overview==== The collections in Strasbourg are distributed over a wide range of museums, according to a system that takes into account not only the types and geographical provenances of the items, but also the epochs. This concerns in particular the following domains: *[[Old Master]] paintings from the Germanic [[Rhine|Rhenish]] territories and until 1681 are displayed in the ''Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame'' (MOND); old master paintings from all the rest of Europe (including the Dutch Rhenish territories) and until 1871, as well as old master paintings from the Germanic Rhenish territories between 1681 and 1871, are displayed in the ''Musée des Beaux-Arts''; paintings since 1871 are displayed in the ''Musée d'art moderne et contemporain'' (MAMCS). *[[Decorative arts]] until 1681 are on display in the MOND, decorative arts from the years 1681 until 1871 are on display in the ''Musée des arts décoratifs'', decorative arts after 1871 are on display at the MAMCS, with items from each epoch also shown in the ''Musée historique''. *Prints and drawings until 1871 are displayed in the ''Cabinet des estampes et dessins'', save for the original plans of Strasbourg Cathedral, displayed in the MOND. Prints and drawings after 1871 are displayed in the MAMCS, and in the ''Musée Tomi Ungerer/Centre international de l'illustration'' (the combined number of prints and drawings amounts to well over 200,000). *Artefacts from Ancient Egypt are on display in two entirely different collections, one in the ''Musée archéologique'' and the other belonging to the ''Instituts d'Égyptologie et de Papyrologie'' of the University of Strasbourg. ====Fine art museums==== [[File:Paul Hannong Strassburg.jpg|thumb|A room in the ''[[Musée des Arts décoratifs, Strasbourg|Musée des Arts décoratifs]]'']] * The ''[[Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg|Musée des Beaux-Arts]]'' owns paintings by [[Hans Memling]], [[Francisco Goya|Francisco de Goya]], [[Tintoretto]], [[Paolo Veronese]], [[Giotto di Bondone]], [[Sandro Botticelli]], [[Peter Paul Rubens]], [[Anthony van Dyck]], [[El Greco]], [[Antonio da Correggio|Correggio]], [[Cima da Conegliano]] and [[Piero di Cosimo]], among others. * The ''[[Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame]]'' (located in a part-Gothic, part-Renaissance building next to the cathedral) houses a large and renowned collection of medieval and Renaissance upper-Rhenish art, among which original sculptures, plans and stained glass from the cathedral and paintings by [[Hans Baldung]] and [[Sebastian Stoskopff]]. * The ''[[Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art|Musée d'Art moderne et contemporain]]'' is among the largest museums of its kind in France. * The ''[[Musée des Arts décoratifs, Strasbourg|Musée des Arts décoratifs]]'', located in the sumptuous former residence of the cardinals of Rohan, the [[Palais Rohan, Strasbourg|Palais Rohan]] displays a reputable collection of 18th century furniture and china. * The ''[[Cabinet des estampes et des dessins (Strasbourg)|Cabinet des estampes et des dessins]]'' displays five centuries of [[engraving]]s and drawings, but also [[woodcut]]s and [[lithography|lithographies]]. * The ''[[Musée Tomi Ungerer/Centre international de l'illustration]]'', located in a large former villa next to the Theatre, displays original works by Ungerer and other artists ([[Saul Steinberg]], [[Ronald Searle]] ... ) as well as Ungerer's large collection of ancient toys. ====Other museums==== * The ''[[Musée archéologique (Strasbourg)|Musée archéologique]]'' presents a large display of regional findings from the first ages of man to the sixth century, focusing on the Roman and Celtic period.
