★★★★★Edited 6 years agoThe Adolf Michaelis museum or gypsotheque of Strasbourg is a museum with the collection of the Institute of Classical Archeology of the University of Strasbourg. This collection was assembled by Adolf Michaelis from his arrival in 1874, he is the first holder of the Chair of Classical Archeology at the Imperial University of Strasbourg founded in 18722. I recomment you to visit this museum :)

★★★★★3 years agoLieu improbable dans un vieux bunker. Pas un musée d état car non accessible aux handicapés. Accueillis par un passionné avec lequel on passerait bien tout l après midi à parler. . Collection impressionnante de moulage d oeuvres disséminées et rassemblées.
