Strasbourg Museum of Fine Arts - Rohan Palace

2 place du Château, Strasbourg, Grand Est

Closed today: open tomorrow at 10:00

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg is a Strasbourg museum. It is located on the second floor of the Palais de Rohan, the former residence of the bishops built in the first half of the 18th century. It includes a large collection of paintings from the 16th century to 1871, as well as a small but remarkable collection of sculptures (mainly busts, mainly by Italian and French artists, with authors such as Baccio Bandinelli, Alessandro Algardi or Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux). The collection was founded in 1801 and was a consequence of the French Revolution, resulting from the expropriation of works contained in churches and cloisters. In the following years, the collection expanded thanks to donations and government loans from the Louvre. The expansion continued until more recent times, making the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg an important reference point for French museography. Among the works in the collections, authors from the various European schools stand out. As far as the Italian school is concerned, there are fundamental authors such as Giotto, Botticelli, Filippino Lippi, Piero di Cosimo, Raffaello, Correggio, Veronese, Tintoretto, Guercino, Canaletto, Tiepolo; authors such as Hans Memling, Maarten van Heemskerck, Rubens, Van Dyck are distinguished from the Dutch and Flemish schools; of the Spanish school you can see works by authors such as El Greco, de Ribera, de Zubaràn, Goya; finally, of the French school we see many names, including Philippe de Champaigne, Lorrain, Boucher, Vouet, Corot, Courbet, Rousseau, Degas and several others. The museum also organizes important temporary exhibitions.
