Traveler reviews
Artem Osypenko
★★★★★8 months agoGreat renewed museum of zoology in Strasbourg. We visited it on the first Sunday of the month for free - was really lovely! Especially impressive is the collection of handmade glass animal models such as the radiolaria. There is also a nice museum store with a lot of interesting things for kids and adults. Large storage area for the bags and belongings is present with lockers.
