Palais Rohan Houses Several Museums

Palais Rohan Houses Several Museums

There are at least three museums in this Palais which was built in the mid-18th century. Near the Cathedrale, it was built for the bishops. In the basement is the Musee Archeologique which covered pre-historic man up through the Celts, the Romans, and Medieval times. It was somewhat interesting but we had seen much of this before.

Then we toured the Museum of Fine Arts which houses older works than we had hoped, mostly religious. When it finally got to things we were more interested in - e.g. Corot - it ended. What a disappointment.

Then we went to the Musee des Arts Decoratif in the beautiful rooms of the palace. This was more interesting to me as it included a lot of ceramics, which I particularly like, and lovely old furnishings.

The price of admission was only 3 euros each (Senior rate) for the three museums, so not a bad deal. I'd say the most interesting thing was just seeing the beautiful rooms.
