Visit the Historical Museum Haguenau

The museum is reminiscent of the architecture of a 16th century Rhenish town hall. In the basement, important archaeological collections are presented, among which the furniture of more than 750 Bronze and Iron Age burials from the Haguenau forest should be noted.
The Roman period is also well represented by beautiful bronze objects: legionnaire's helmet, leggings from a ceremonial armour, Gallo-Roman divinities, sandstone sculptures and numerous objects for domestic use.
The ground floor is devoted to the history of the town through charters, seals, coins, aldermen's cups, etc., from the 12th to the 16th century.
A collection of more than 80 glasses: vases, lamps and bowls, in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, assembled by the collector David Henninger, bears witness to the important glass production of Eastern France.
Regional artistic production is also represented through the sculptures and ceramics of Alsatian artists such as Léon Elchinger.
