Places to see in ( Strasbourg - France ) Musee de l'OEuvre Notre Dame
The Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame is the city of Strasbourg's museum for Upper Rhenish fine arts and decorative arts from the early Middle Ages until 1681. The museum is famous for its rich holdings of original sculptures, glass windows, architectural fragments and building plans of Strasbourg Cathedral, as well as for its considerable collection of works by Peter Hemmel von Andlau, Niclas Gerhaert van Leyden, Nikolaus Hagenauer, Ivo Strigel, Konrad Witz, Hans Baldung and Sebastian Stoskopff.
The Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame had been created to merge under a single roof four thematically related but differently focussed collections of all types of Upper Rhenish art until 1681. It is located in the half-Gothic, half-Renaissance core building of the Fondation de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame and in several early Baroque timber-framed houses surrounding it.
The first documentary evidence of the Strasbourg Fondation de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame dates back to 1281, and it is still responsible for the maintenance of the cathedral. Besides the building plans, which have been saved from the very beginning, they also preserve architectural parts, such as fragments of the choir screen destroyed in 1681 and the originals of the sculptures which were removed or knocked down during the French Revolution and later replaced by copies. The Société pour la conservation des monuments historiques d’Alsace (Society for the Conservation of the Historical Monuments of Alsace), for their part, had endeavored to rescue the most valuable components and decorations (altars, statues, vessels, tapestries) from churches, cloisters and chapels which had been abandoned to destruction or decay throughout Alsace.
The painting collection of the city, restored by Wilhelm von Bode as of 1890, had also focussed right from the beginning on regional masters, through the donation of the Portrait of the canon Ambrosius Volmar Keller, a masterpiece of Hans Baldung from the private collection of Wilhelm II. Finally, in the new museum of decorative arts of the city, the Hohenlohe Museum, works of decorative art from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Early Baroque were also exhibited. Those four collections, kept in various locations and with various points of concentration, were united in 1931 in the newly founded Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame. In 1956, after the repair of the damage caused by the bombing of Strasbourg during the war in 1944, it was re-opened in an expanded condition.
Besides the cathedral sculptures, glass windows, etc., the collection also boasts valuable components from other Strasbourg churches, such as the Temple Neuf, destroyed in 1870, the Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux Church, renovated in 1867, and the Église Sainte-Madeleine, destroyed by fire in 1904. In addition, the romanesque components (cloister, baptismal font) from St Trophimus' Church, Eschau and the stained glass windows from St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, Wissembourg and Mutzig are also important. Furthermore, many late gothic altars are assigned to anonymous masters of the Schongauer School.

Places to see in ( Strasbourg - France ) Palais de Rohan
Places to see in ( Strasbourg - France ) Palais de Rohan
The Palais Rohan in Strasbourg is the former residence of the prince-bishops and cardinals of the House of Rohan, an ancient French noble family originally from Brittany. It is a major architectural, historical, and cultural landmark in the city. It was built next to Strasbourg Cathedral in the 1730s, from designs by Robert de Cotte, and is considered a masterpiece of French Baroque architecture. Since its completion in 1742, the palace has hosted a number of French monarchs such as Louis XV, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and Joséphine, and Charles X.
Reflecting the history of Strasbourg and of France, the palace has been owned successively by the nobility, the municipality, the monarchy, the state, the university, and the municipality again. Its architectural conception and its iconography were intended to indicate the return of Roman Catholicism to the city, which had been dominated by Protestantism for the previous two centuries. Thus the prelate's apartments face the cathedral, to the north, and many of the statues, reliefs and paintings reflect the Catholic dogma.
Since the end of the 19th century the palace has been home to three of Strasbourg's most important museums: the Archaeological Museum (Musée archéologique, basement), the Museum of Decorative Arts (Musée des arts décoratifs, ground floor) and the Museum of Fine Arts (Musée des beaux-arts, first and second floor). The municipal art gallery, Galerie Robert Heitz, in a lateral wing of the palace, is used for temporary exhibitions. The Palais Rohan has been listed since 1920 as a Monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
The apartments on the piano nobile today form a part of the Musée des arts décoratifs. The chambers of the prince-bishops and cardinals of the House of Rohan are divided into the grand appartement (display space, facing the river, or south) and petit appartement (living space, facing the inner court and the cathedral, or north), as in the Palace of Versailles.
The Musée des beaux-arts (Museum of Fine Arts), on the first and second floors of the palace, is the successor of the Musée de peinture et de sculpture (Museum of painting and sculpture), established in 1803 and entirely destroyed by Prussian artillery shelling and the subsequent violent fire during the night of 24–25 August 1870.
The Musée des arts décoratifs (Museum of Decorative arts) is on the ground floor. It was established in its current form in the years 1920–1924, when the collections of the Kunstgewerbe-Museum Hohenlohe, originally established in 1887, were relocated in the stables wing adjacent to the palace apartments.
The Musée archéologique (Archaeological Museum) is in the basement. The former archaeological collections of the city had been entirely destroyed, along with the municipal library, during the Siege of Strasbourg in 1870. A new collection was started in 1876 on behalf of the Society for the preservation of the historical monuments of Alsace (French: Société pour la conservation des Monuments historiques d'Alsace, German: Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung der geschichtlichen Denkmäler im Elsass).

Strasbourg astronomical clock, Strasbourg Cathedral, Strasbourg, Alsace, France, Europe
The Strasbourg astronomical clock is located in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame of Strasbourg, Alsace, France. It is the third clock on that spot and dates from the time of the first French possession of the city (1681-1870). The first clock had been built in the 14th century, the second in the 16th century, when Strasbourg was a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. The current, third clock dates from 1843. Its main features, besides the automata, are a perpetual calendar (including a computus), an orrery (planetary dial), a display of the real position of the Sun and the Moon, and solar and lunar eclipses. The main attraction is the procession of the 18 inch high figures of Christ and the Apostles which occurs every day at half past midday while the life-size cock crows thrice. The first astronomical clock of Strasbourg cathedral was erected between 1352--1354, against the south transept. The name of its maker is not known. This clock was known as the Three Kings clock and had several automata. One of them was the gilded rooster, later reused in the second clock and which now is part of the collections of the Strasbourg Museum for Decorative Arts and is considered the oldest preserved automaton worldwide. This bird, a symbol of Christ's passion, was made of iron, copper, and wood. At noon it flapped its wings and spread out its feathers. It also opened its beak, put out its tongue, and by means of a bellows and a reed, crowed. In the top compartment at noon, to the sound of a small carillon, the Three Kings bowed before the figure of The Virgin Mary and the Christ Child. The clock most certainly had an astrolabe dial and a calendar dial. It was standing on the wall opposite the current clock, and a staircase led to its various levels. Supports for former balconies can still be seen today, and suggest that the height of the clock was about 18 m (59'), with a width of about 7.70 m (25') at the base. At the base a painted figure of a zodiacal man showed the relationship between the signs of the zodiac and parts of the human body. There is also a big circle engraved in the wall, but this circle is not a remnant of the first clock. It was added at a later stage, for some unclarified reason. The entire structure was dismantled in 1572--4 when the second and even more ambitious clock was mounted on the opposite wall of the south transept. The first clock stopped working and a new one was started in the 16th century. It was designed by the mathematician Christian Herlin. During a first phase, the stone case and the staircase were built, around 1547, and the dial and iron framework were being constructed when work halted, due to the various political problems - the cathedral became Catholic - and also due to the deaths of Herlin and his associates. Construction was resumed in 1571 by Conrad Dasypodius, a pupil of and successor to Herlin. Dasypodius enrolled the Swiss clockmakers Isaac Habrecht and Josia Habrecht, as well as the astronomer and musician David Wolckenstein, and Swiss artists Tobias Stimmer and his brother Josias. The clock was completed in 1574. This clock was remarkable both for its complexity as an astronomical device and for the range and richness of its decorations and accessories. As well as the many dials and indicators - the calendar dial, the astrolabe, the indicators for planets, and eclipses - the clock was also well endowed with paintings, moving statues, automata, and musical entertainment in the form of a six tune carillon. The Stimmers painted large panels that depicted the three Fates, Urania, Colossus, Nicolaus Copernicus, and various sacred themes, including the Creation, the resurrection of the Dead, the last judgment, and the rewards of virtue and vice. At the base of a clock there was an 86 cm (34) diameter celestial globe, accompanied by the figure of a pelican. The globe was connected to the clock movement, and set for the latitude of Strasbourg. A popular feature of the new clock was the golden cockerel, a relic of the first clock, which perched on the top of the cupola and entertained the onlookers at noon every day until 1640, when it was struck by lightning. Most of the works are still preserved in the Museum of Decorative Arts. The second clock stopped working around 1788 and stood still until 1838, when Jean-Baptiste Schwilgué (1776--1856) started to build the current clock. He designed new mechanisms to replace the old ones and which were meant to be state of the art.

A tour around Rohan Palace in Strasbourgh France
Examine historical artifacts and artworks in the museums of this 18th-century palace, which once hosted Louis XV and Marie Antoinette.
Rohan Palace is a grand residence with stately façades and an ornate interior. Once a royal abode, it now houses three fascinating museums as well as an additional gallery. Spend a day browsing the exhibits and galleries of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Decorative Arts.
Before entering, examine the building’s elaborate window-lined façade, which looks out over the River Ill. Behind it lies the Strasbourg Cathedral with a tall spire that can be seen from much of the Grande Île.
Walk through the large archway and enter the main building to see its majestic halls. Learn about the intriguing history of the palace, which was commissioned by the bishop of Strasbourg in 1731. Since then, the mansion has hosted many famous residents and guests, most notably Marie Antoinette in 1770.
The basement of the building houses the Archeological Museum. See items from the collection of 18th-century historian Johann Daniel Schöpflin and inspect objects from the Paleolithic Era, the Bronze Age and Roman times.
On the ground floor is the Museum of Decorative Arts. Peruse its lavish Baroque and Rococo chambers and admire exquisite porcelain, gold and silver pieces from the Alsace region. The floor above has the Museum of Fine Arts, which includes paintings attributed to master artists such as Botticelli, Giotto and Piero di Cosimo.
A side wing of the palace houses the Robert Heitz Gallery where temporary exhibitions are often held. Check ahead to see if anything is showing here during your visit.
Each museum has an admission fee and closes on Tuesdays.
Rohan Palace is located to the north of the River Ill in the center of the city. Some of Strasbourg’s famous landmarks, including Strasbourg Cathedral and several other important churches, are nearby. To get reach the palace, ride the tram to the Langstross Grand Rue or Broglie stations. Both are less than 10 minutes’ walk away.

Places to see in ( Strasbourg - France ) Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg
Places to see in ( Strasbourg - France ) Cathedrale Notre Dame de Strasbourg
Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg, also known as Strasbourg Minster, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, Alsace, France. Although considerable parts of it are still in Romanesque architecture, it is widely considered to be among the finest examples of high, or late, Gothic architecture. Erwin von Steinbach is credited for major contributions from 1277 to his death in 1318.
At 142 metres (466 feet), it was the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 (227 years), when it was surpassed by St. Nikolai's Church, Hamburg. Today it is the sixth-tallest church in the world and the highest extant structure built entirely in the Middle Ages.
Described by Victor Hugo as a gigantic and delicate marvel, and by Goethe as a sublimely towering, wide-spreading tree of God, the cathedral is visible far across the plains of Alsace and can be seen from as far off as the Vosges Mountains or the Black Forest on the other side of the Rhine. Sandstone from the Vosges used in construction gives the cathedral its characteristic pink hue.
It is known that a cathedral was erected by the bishop Saint Arbogast of the Strasbourg diocese at the end of the seventh century, on the base of a temple dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but nothing remains of it today. Strasbourg's previous cathedral, of which remains dating back to the late 4th century or early 5th century were unearthed in 1948 and 1956, was situated at the site of the current Église Saint-Étienne.
Protestant and Revolutionary iconoclasm, the war periods of 1681, 1870 and 1940–1944 as well as changes in taste and liturgy have taken a toll on some of Strasbourg Cathedral's most outstanding features such as the choir screen of 1252 and the successive high altars (ca. 1500 and 1682), but many treasures remain inside the building; others, or fragments of them, being displayed in the Musée de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame.
The cathedral's south transept houses an 18-metre astronomical clock, one of the largest in the world. Its first forerunner was the so-called Dreikönigsuhr (three-king clock) of 1352-1354, located at the opposite wall from where today's clock is. Then starting in 1547 a new clock was built by Christian Herlin, and others, but the construction was interrupted when the cathedral was handed over to the Roman Catholic Church. Construction was resumed in 1571 by Conrad Dasypodius and the Habrecht brothers, and this clock was astronomically much more involved. It also had paintings by the Swiss painter Tobias Stimmer. That clock functioned into the late 18th Century and can be seen today in the Strasbourg Museum of Decorative Arts.

Places to see in ( Mulhouse - France ) Musee de l'Impression sur Etoffes de Mulhouse
The Museum of Printing on Fabrics is a French museum located in Mulhouse ( Haut-Rhin ). It is both a decorative art museum, a technical museum, a local history museum and a fashion museum. Its mission is to make textile printing known through collections of samples, materials and documents. brought together by the Société Industriel de Mulhouse (SIM).
At the end of the xviii th century and beginning of the xix th century, Mulhouse experienced spectacular industrial and population growth, from 7200 inhabitants in 1801 to 32 557 in 1851. The local industrialists, gathered in the Mulhouse Industrial Society founded in 1826, play a leading role in the development of cultural life and are involved in the creation of several technical museums. The Museum of Industrial Design was created in 1857. First intended for professionals, it brings together, in addition to local productions, samples from around the world. In 1910 he was transferred, at the same time as the School of Drawing, to the premises of the SIM, at 12, rue de la Bourse. From 1911 it opens to the general public through annual exhibitions.
After the Second World War a reorganization is necessary. In 1955 a printing museum on fabrics was created in the form of a local law association . He settles in an imposing building, built for the SIM by the Swiss architect Frédéric-Louis de Rutte and inaugurated in May 1883, which housed until then the Museum of Fine Arts of Mulhouse , closed in the aftermath of the war . The SIM leaves its various collections: tools, machines, samples, documents, and donations from industrialists - including Frédéric Engel-Dollfus - continue to enrich them.
The Louis Becker collection, comprising 711 handkerchiefs and 484 printed canvases, was purchased in 1954 7 . In the same year the museum devotes a temporary exhibition to these new acquisitions. In 1961 the New York collector Agnes Holden donated over 600 paintings and prints, most of the xviii th century and 58 tissues.

Fourth video about the Romantic Art serie. Any doubt? Send me a message.
Historia del Arte:
Land of the Art:
Romanticism is born in XIX century. It is about the manifestation of feelings and sensations through art. It began in literature by the ideas of Goethe, Rousseau and Hegel. Ideals as revolution, nationalism, freedom, independence are the pillars of the romantic thinking. Historicism, coming back to the old forms, but reinterpreting it. Dramatic emotions, the sublime and ruins. Nostalgia for the past.
In Architecture happens the Historicisms, the Neo-movements. They are: neogothic, neoegyptian, neobyzantine, neorromanesque, neomudejar, neoarab, neorrenaissance, neobaroque, and neocolonial.
Neorromanesque, or Romanesque Revival, happened more in England and France. It’s a coming back to constructions of brick or monochromatic stone, and the use of regular arches. It can also be called as norman style.
England: victorian architecture. Natural History Museum of London (by Alfred Waterhouse), Castle of Windsor (remodelations), Castle of Culzean (by Robert Adam), Thomas Hopper made the next two ones, the Castle of Penrhyn and the Castle of Gosford, and Thomas Penson made the St Agatha of Llanymynech. Finally, Thomas Henry Wyatt made the church of St Maria and St Nicholas
