Mus茅e de l鈥櫯抲vre Notre-Dame (Notre-Dame Artwork Museum), Strasbourg (must see)
The Notre-Dame Artwork Museum finds its home within the Gothic/Renaissance edifice of the Notre-Dame Artwork Foundation. It is also nestled among the early Baroque structures encircling the Place du Chateau, situated adjacent to the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Within the museum's confines, a captivating display of fine and decorative arts from the Upper Rhine region spanning the early Middle Ages to 1681 is showcased. The collection encompasses original sculptures and architectural fragments that bore the brunt of damage during the turbulence of the French Revolution. Additionally, the museum proudly exhibits stained glass windows crafted by Peter Hemmel von Andlau, along with paintings created by notable artists such as Hans Baldung, Sebastien Strokopff, and Konrad Witz.
Furthermore, the collection encompasses treasured elements sourced from other ecclesiastical establishments in Strasbourg. Among these are remnants from the Temple Neuf, tragically demolished in 1870, the Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux Church, which underwent renovation in 1867, and the Sainte-Madeleine Church, sadly consumed by fire in 1904. Noteworthy mentions also extend to the Romanesque components like the cloister and baptismal font from St. Trophimus' Church in Eschau, as well as the resplendent stained glass windows adorning Saint Peter and Saint Paul's Church in Wissembourg and Mutzig.
Tip:
There's an audio-guide available, free and well worth getting for all the information it gives. Don't miss the medieval garden, but be warned that it's closed in bad weather, including thundershowers.
