Editing Strasbourg (section)

====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.
