Historical Museum

Founded in 1864, the Historical Museum is housed in the former townhall. It now features three topics: local archaeology, the history of Mulhouse and Sundgauvian folk art. The collections presenting the history of Mulhouse are fittingly exhibited in the parts of the townhall in which the original decors have been preserved. Middle-class interiors from different periods have been re-created thanks to an extensive collection of costumes and furniture. The folk art gallery presents the reconstitution of a Sundgauvian bedroom and kitchen together with several hand-crafted objects and sculptures. The Museum also boasts a fine collection of toys.
