===Architecture===
[[File:Strasbourg Cathedral Exterior - Diliff.jpg|thumb|[[Strasbourg Cathedral|Strasbourg, Cathedral of Our Lady]]]]

The city is chiefly known for its [[sandstone]] [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]] [[Strasbourg Cathedral|Cathedral]] with its famous [[Strasbourg astronomical clock|astronomical clock]], and for its medieval cityscape of [[Rhineland]] black and white [[timber framing|timber-framed]] buildings, particularly in the ''[[Petite France, Strasbourg|Petite France]]'' district or ''Gerberviertel'' ("tanners' district") alongside the Ill and in the streets and squares surrounding the cathedral, where the renowned ''[[Kammerzell House|Maison Kammerzell]]'' stands out.

Notable medieval streets include ''[[Rue Mercière, Strasbourg|Rue Mercière]]'', ''Rue des Dentelles'', ''Rue du Bain aux Plantes'', ''Rue des Juifs'', ''Rue des Frères'', ''Rue des Tonneliers'', ''Rue du Maroquin'', ''Rue des Charpentiers'', ''Rue des Serruriers'', ''Grand' Rue'', ''Quai des Bateliers'', ''Quai Saint-Nicolas'' and ''Quai Saint-Thomas''. Notable medieval squares include ''Place de la Cathédrale'', ''Place du Marché Gayot'', ''Place Saint-Étienne'', ''Place du Marché aux Cochons de Lait'' and ''Place Benjamin Zix''.

In addition to the cathedral, Strasbourg houses several other medieval churches that have survived the many wars and destructions that have plagued the city: the [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] ''Église Saint-Étienne'', partly destroyed in 1944 by Allied [[Strategic bombing|bombing raids]]; the part-Romanesque, part-Gothic, very large ''[[St. Thomas, Strasbourg|Église Saint-Thomas]]'' with its [[Gottfried Silbermann|Silbermann]] organ on which [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] and [[Albert Schweitzer]] played;<ref>{{Base Mérimée|PA00085032|Eglise Saint-Thomas}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.itineraires-silbermann.org/strasbourg-saint-thomas/ |title=Strasbourg - Eglise protestante Saint-Thomas |publisher=itineraires-silbermann.org |access-date=13 July 2022 }}</ref> the Gothic ''[[Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune Protestant Church|Église protestante Saint-Pierre-le-Jeune]]'' with its crypt dating back to the seventh century and its [[cloister]] partly from the eleventh century; the Gothic ''[[Saint William's Church, Strasbourg|Église Saint-Guillaume]]'' with its fine early-Renaissance [[stained glass]] and furniture; the Gothic ''Église Saint-Jean''; the part-Gothic, part-[[Art Nouveau]] ''[[Sainte-Madeleine Church; Strasbourg|Église Sainte-Madeleine]]'' etc. The [[Gothic Revival architecture|Neo-Gothic]] church ''[[Old Saint Peter's Church, Strasbourg|Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux Catholique]]'' (there is also an adjacent church ''Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux Protestant'') serves as a shrine for several 15th-century wood-worked and painted [[Altar#In Western Christian churches|altars]] coming from other, now destroyed churches and installed there for public display; especially the [[The Passion of Christ (Strasbourg)|Passion of Christ]]. Among the numerous secular medieval buildings, the monumental ''[[Ancienne Douane (Strasbourg)|Ancienne Douane]]'' (old [[custom-house]]) stands out.

The [[German Renaissance]] has bequeathed the city some noteworthy buildings (especially [[Neubau (Strasbourg)|the current ''Chambre de commerce et d'industrie'']], former [[City and town halls|town hall]], on ''Place Gutenberg''), as did the [[French Baroque and Classicism]] with several ''hôtels particuliers'' (i.e. [[palace]]s), among which the ''[[Palais Rohan, Strasbourg|Palais Rohan]]'' (completed 1742, used for university purposes from 1872 to 1895,<ref>{{cite EB1911 |wstitle=Strassburg |volume=25 |page=984}}</ref> now housing three museums) is the most spectacular. Other buildings of its kind are the "[[Hôtel de Hanau]]" (1736, now the city hall); the ''[[Hôtel de Klinglin]]'' (1736, now residence of the {{lang|fr|[[préfet]]}}); the ''[[Hôtel des Deux-Ponts]]'' (1755, now residence of the [[Military Governor|military governor]]); the ''Hôtel d'Andlau-Klinglin'' (1725, now seat of the administration of the [[Port autonome de Strasbourg]]) etc. The largest baroque building of Strasbourg though is the {{convert|150|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} 1720s main building of the ''[[Hôpital civil, Strasbourg|Hôpital civil]]''. As for French [[Neoclassicism|Neo-classicism]], it is the [[Strasbourg Opera House|Opera House]] on [[Place Broglie]] that most prestigiously represents this style.

Strasbourg also offers high-class [[eclecticism in art|eclecticist]] buildings in its very extended German district, the ''[[Neustadt, Strasbourg|Neustadt]]'', being the main memory of [[Wilhelm I, German Emperor|Wilhelmian architecture]] since most of the major cities in Germany proper suffered intensive damage during World War II. Streets, boulevards and avenues are homogeneous, surprisingly high (up to seven stories) and broad examples of German urban lay-out and of this [[architectural style]] that summons and mixes up five centuries of European architecture as well as Neo-Egyptian, [[Neo-Grec|Neo-Greek]] and Neo-Babylonian styles. The former imperial palace ''[[Palais du Rhin]]'', the most political and thus heavily criticized of all German Strasbourg buildings epitomizes the grand scale and stylistic sturdiness of this period. But the two most handsome and ornate buildings of these times are the [[Pontonniers International High School|École internationale des Pontonniers]] (the former ''[[Höhere Mädchenschule]]'', with its towers, turrets and multiple round and square angles<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.archi-strasbourg.org/adresse-3_rue_des_Pontonniers_Centre_ville_Strasbourg-702.html?check=1&archiIdAdresse=702&archiAffichage=adresseDetail&debut= |title=Pictures |publisher=Archi-strasbourg.org |access-date=15 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105134906/http://www.archi-strasbourg.org/adresse-3_rue_des_Pontonniers_Centre_ville_Strasbourg-702.html?check=1&archiIdAdresse=702&archiAffichage=adresseDetail&debut= |archive-date=5 January 2009 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all}}</ref> and the ''[[Haute école des arts du Rhin]]'' with its lavishly ornate façade of painted bricks, woodwork and [[Maiolica|majolica]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.archi-strasbourg.org/adresse-1_rue_de_Acad%C3%A9mie_Krutenau_Strasbourg-508.html?check=1&archiIdAdresse=508&archiAffichage=adresseDetail&debut= |title=Views |access-date=20 August 2021 |archive-date=10 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150510234327/http://www.archi-strasbourg.org/adresse-1_rue_de_Acad%C3%A9mie_Krutenau_Strasbourg-508.html?check=1&archiIdAdresse=508&archiAffichage=adresseDetail&debut= |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[File:OrgueSaintThomasStrasbourg.jpg|thumb|left|The baroque organ of the [[St. Thomas, Strasbourg|Église Saint-Thomas]]]]

Notable streets of the German district include: ''Avenue de la Forêt Noire'', ''Avenue des Vosges'', ''Avenue d'Alsace'', ''Avenue de la Marseillaise'', ''Avenue de la Liberté'', ''Boulevard de la Victoire'', ''Rue Sellénick'', ''Rue du Général de Castelnau'', ''Rue du Maréchal Foch'', and ''Rue du Maréchal Joffre''. Notable squares of the German district include ''[[Place de la République (Strasbourg)|Place de la République]]'', ''Place de l'Université'', ''Place Brant'', and ''Place Arnold''.

Impressive examples of [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussian]] military architecture of the 1880s can be found along the newly reopened ''Rue du Rempart'', displaying large-scale fortifications among which the aptly named ''Kriegstor'' (war gate).

As for modern and [[contemporary architecture]], Strasbourg possesses some fine [[Art Nouveau]] buildings (such as the huge ''[[Palais des Fêtes]]'' and houses and villas like ''[[Villa Schutzenberger]]'' and ''[[Hôtel Brion]]''), good examples of post-World War II functional architecture (the ''Cité Rotterdam'', for which [[Le Corbusier]] did not succeed in the architectural contest) and, in the very extended ''Quartier Européen'', some spectacular administrative buildings of sometimes utterly large size, among which the [[European Court of Human Rights building]] by [[Richard Rogers]] is arguably the finest. Other noticeable contemporary buildings are the new [[College or university school of music|Music school]] ''Cité de la Musique et de la Danse'', the ''[[Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art|Musée d'Art moderne et contemporain]]'' and the ''Hôtel du Département'' facing it, as well as, in the outskirts, the tramway-station [[Hoenheim]]-Nord designed by [[Zaha Hadid]].

[[File:Absolute place Kleber 02.jpg|thumb|right|''[[Place Kléber]]'']]

The city has many bridges, including the medieval and four-towered ''[[Ponts Couverts (Strasbourg)|Ponts Couverts]]'' that, despite their name, are no longer covered. Next to the ''Ponts Couverts'' is the ''[[Barrage Vauban]]'', a part of [[Vauban]]'s 17th-century fortifications, that does include a covered bridge. Other bridges are the ornate 19th-century ''Pont de la Fonderie'' (1893, stone) and ''Pont d'Auvergne'' (1892, iron), as well as architect [[:fr:Marc Mimram|Marc Mimram]]'s futuristic ''Passerelle'' over the Rhine, opened in 2004.

The largest square at the centre of the city of Strasbourg is the [[Place Kléber]]. Located in the heart of the city's commercial area, it was named after general [[Jean Baptiste Kléber|Jean-Baptiste Kléber]], born in Strasbourg in 1753 and assassinated in 1800 in [[Cairo]]. In the square is a statue of Kléber, under which is a vault containing his remains. On the north side of the square is the [[Aubette (building)|Aubette]] (Orderly Room), built by [[Jacques-François Blondel|Jacques François Blondel]], architect of the king, in 1765–1772.

Strasbourg features a number of prominent parks, of which several are of cultural and historical interest: the ''Parc de l'Orangerie'', laid out as a French garden by [[André Le Nôtre|André le Nôtre]] and remodeled as an [[Landscape garden|English garden]] on behalf of [[Joséphine de Beauharnais]], now displaying noteworthy French gardens, a neo-classical castle and a small [[zoo]]; the ''Parc de la Citadelle'', built around impressive remains of the 17th-century [[Fortification|fortress]] erected close to the [[Rhine]] by [[Vauban]];<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.archi-strasbourg.org/adresse-1_3e_Regiment_Tir_Algeriens_Place_Esplanade_Strasbourg-904.html?check=1&archiIdAdresse=904&archiAffichage=adresseDetail&debut= |title=Parc de la Citadelle with remains of the Vauban fortress |publisher=Archi-strasbourg.org |date=26 August 2007 |access-date=15 April 2010 |archive-date=5 January 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090105145149/http://www.archi-strasbourg.org/adresse-1_3e_Regiment_Tir_Algeriens_Place_Esplanade_Strasbourg-904.html?check=1&archiIdAdresse=904&archiAffichage=adresseDetail&debut= |url-status=dead }}</ref> the ''Parc de Pourtalès'', laid out in English style around a [[baroque]] castle (heavily restored in the 19th century) that now houses a small three-star hotel,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chateau-pourtales.eu/cms/front_content.php?idcat=1&changelang=3 |title=Overview |publisher=chateau-pourtales.eu |access-date=12 December 2010 |archive-date=28 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100728101001/http://www.chateau-pourtales.eu/cms/front_content.php?idcat=1&changelang=3 |url-status=live }}</ref> and featuring an [[open-air museum]] of international contemporary sculpture.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ceaac.org/html/espace_public/pourtales/frame.htm |title=Overview |publisher=Ceaac.org |access-date=15 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101204060533/http://www.ceaac.org/html/espace_public/pourtales/frame.htm |archive-date=4 December 2010 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> The [[Jardin botanique de l'Université de Strasbourg]] (botanical garden) was created under the German administration next to the [[Observatory of Strasbourg]], built in 1881, and still owns some [[greenhouse]]s of those times. The ''Parc des Contades'', although the oldest park of the city, was completely remodeled after World War II. The futuristic ''Parc des Poteries'' is an example of European park-conception in the late 1990s. The ''Jardin des deux Rives'', spread over Strasbourg and [[Kehl]] on both sides of the Rhine opened in 2004 and is the most extended (60-hectare) park of the agglomeration. The most recent park is ''Parc du Heyritz'' (8,7 ha), opened in 2014 along a canal facing the ''[[Hôpital civil, Strasbourg|hôpital civil]]''.

===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.
