In the nine years since we visited, we have often reminisced how awesome the museum was because it is chock full of cool things. The exhibits are even better now! My favorite area is the tank garden. When we visited, there was a special exhibit about the history of the Volkswagen GTI. We learned so much about how the car was positioned in the market against hot hatches from Opel.

You could literally spend an entire weekend here because around every corner, theres more fun stuff! It's really incredible to see vehicles that are iconic and the museum takes such great care of every artifact. If I could have a gripe, it's a lack of personnel at some of the exhibits you stand in line for. The Concord for example, some parents allowed their kids to run up and down this thing. This is not only a safety issue but they could damage the historical items. When you're done, stop and get a bite as it was tasty but a bit of a wait.

The museum is actually 3 old Alsatian residences in Strasbourg, filled with daily insight on the lives of people in the region in the 18th and 19th centuries. It's almost like a maze, in fact, I am not even sure if I saw everything because there was just so much. It takes you out onto the porches in the courtyard on ocassion. I would want to live here even now, if it wasn't a museum. One of the neatest parts was a room full of antique toys, from dolls sporting gigantic bows to elaborate miniature toy kitchens. You can see agricultural items, religious items, to a typical Alsatian kitchen set up for the time period, down to the pots meant for preserving butter. If you are in Strasbourg, this is a must see.

Political art, not so much. My visit started with a large exhibit explaining the history and origin of the French national anthem, La Marseillaise. Me, I love a rounding rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. When done properly, it gives me goosebumps. So to have this opportunity to learn about this song was interesting and enjoyable. From the "Chant de Guerre" that was the battle hymn for the Army of the Rhine and adapted to become Chant des Marsellois and subsequently La Marseillaise. From 1792 and through the 19th and 20th centuries, it represented a rallying hymn in the struggles for freedom. It was even taken up by Chinese students demonstrating in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Other exhibits included sculptures and art pieces and portraits, many of them absolutely interesting. I particularly enjoyed "Three Elements" (1925) by Vasilly Kandinsky and bought a print of it in the gift shop. Masks are required throughout the museum and QR codes were checked at entry. The cloakroom is currently closed. Expect to spend at least 90 minutes touring the art. [Review 16448 overall - 82 in France - 1956 of 2021.]

I was excited when I saw it included was a children's museum (called Museum of Pedagogy), since I have a five-year-old in tow. Then, the weirdest thing happened. I would ask someone in the museum where the children's museum was (I showed them the words on my phone since I don't speak German) and they would ultimately point me to another end of the museum. So I'd go from one person to another to another, and ultimately ended up in circles. At one point, a staffer said, "This is a MUSEUM. We don't have kids stuff." I left frustrated and ultimately perplexed about the existence of this mysterious children's museum that was depicted on the maps and museum signs.

Inside a a beautiful courtyard that's brilliantly designed and filled with statues and greenery, you're treated to a peaceful and royal aesthetic before you even walk inside. Like most museums, you'll be able to take a self guided tour, so if you don't know anything about art, this will guide you. Everyone is sure to find something they like since the small museum is filled with a diversity of time periods and styles. The atmosphere here is so casual and simple that it makes the perfect break from exploring the city. (Or a great cover from the rain like I had to use).

The house of Carl Benz is about 1 km down the road (only open on special occasions), and he is buried in the local cemetery.
