The museum on the ground floor of Rohan Palace is the Strasbourg Museum of Decorative Arts.
Late Baroque and Rococo rooms are displayed as they would have looked at the time, and the opulence of the rooms is overwhelming.
There is also a wide range of exhibits, including a display of parts of the old astronomical clock of Strasbourg Cathedral, 17th-19th century ceramics, and Strasbourg goldsmith’s work.
In this issue, we would like to introduce you to the Museum of Decorative Arts, where you can experience the history of Strasbourg.

Summary
The luxurious European-style rooms are still to be admired.
Each room looks different and you will never get bored of looking at it.
There is an impressive amount of ceramics and porcelain, which can also be enjoyed to the full, as it has a character not found in other museums.
Furthermore, as far as the Astronomical Clock is concerned, you will enjoy it more if you have seen the Astronomical Clock in Strasbourg Cathedral.
Thank you again for reading to the end of this issue.
