Strasbourg France
The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg is located on the ground floor of the Palais Rohan, the former residence of the prince-bishops, built between 1732 and 1742 by Robert de Cotte, the king's first architect. The museum combines the luxurious apartments of the cardinals of Rohan with an extensive collection of decorative arts from the 17th to the 19th centuries, including renowned Hannong ceramics, furniture, clocks, and goldsmith work. The apartments are beautifully restored to reflect their original 18th-century grandeur, featuring stuccoes, frescoes, tapestries, and Rococo and First Empire style furnishings. Situated at 2 Place du Château in Strasbourg's historic Grande Île district, the museum is in close proximity to the Cathédrale Notre-Dame, the Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame, the Musée Historique de la Ville, and the Alsatian Museum, all within walking distance in UNESCO-listed Strasbourg.
