This museum is more or less a must see, but therefore not too interesting. I did not see particular highlights. The building is obviously grande and stately. I am not sure if I would go again. The museum is free on the first sunday of the month by the way. Love the frensch government.

The Palace Rohan consists of three museums. The Musee des Beaux Arts contains pictures from the Middle Ages to the mid 17th century. The Musee Archeologique is a very detailed, if sometimes old-fashioned, archeological museum with exhibits from Neolithic times to post-Roman times with a focus on regional discoveries. The Musee des Arts Decoratifs consists of restored ornately decorated rooms from the Prince-Bishops of Rohan period as well as displays of fine porcelain.
The three museums have very different atmospheres and I enjoyed the variety. The Strasbourg city pass gave a discount for these three museums and you can also reduce the cost by purchasing a combined entry to all three. Staff were helpful in working out the best price options.

As others have mentioned, this is actually three museums in one, housed in the former palace of the bishops/cardinals. Each museum is located on one floor, the archaology museum in the basement, museum of decorative arts on the ground floor, and museum of fine arts on the upper level. You can buy separate tickets, but the three together were only 12 euro. Each museum was interesting in its own right. Archaeology museum showed the history of the area from pre-historic times, through Roman, and more recent. Decorative arts were mostly rooms of the palace as they would have been, along with rooms showing porcelain, gold work, etc. Museum of fine arts had a variety of paintings, and during my visit a special exhibition on Jean-Jacques Henner.
My one complaint is that flow in each of the museums was a little confusing. Some rooms had multiple entrances/exits, and it wasn't always clear what route you were supposed to take to ensure you were seeing everything.

Once again, very happy that my press card grants free entry bc it is quite expensive to enter for all 3 (or 2 as the Fine Arts was randomly closed) museums. I decided to go to the Decorative Arts section with the palace rooms and furniture.
I’ve seen more impressive rooms in many palaces and houses but these were still lovely enough to wander. Also very helpful to have full English placards in each room describing the furniture, furnishings and objects d’art. Photos allowed.
Definitely great to visit on a bad weather day like I had.
Warning there is a lunch break around 1 or 2 when the museums are closed, with ZERO signage anywhere about this. Typically European 🤦🏽‍♀️

This palace now houses 3 museums. They share a common entrance, but each branches off from there and you pay (or have a free visit if you have a voucher/or half price with a second voucher) to see each one. It's easy to find as it's opposite the Notre Dame Cathedral.

There are three different kind of museums in the palace. They all are very interesting and well done. I was pleasently surprised by all the archaeological finds they have in the museum. I really recommend buying the day pass. It costs €16 and you can visit the three different museum and all the other museum in Strassbourg.

I visited the art and decorative art museums while waiting to get into Strasbourg cathedral. Both have good collections. The Beaux Arts museum had an unexpected Crivelli and a particularly gruesome painting by Crespi of an almost-doglike Christ carrying the cross.

During my recent visit to the palace with my friends, we encountered a staff member who displayed a high level of unprofessionalism. Despite our attempts to communicate with him in English, he rudely pretended not to understand and even raised his voice when we inquired about the castle. Even when I explained that I could speak multiple languages but not French, he continued speaking in French without any regard for our inability to understand. While I understand that everyone has bad days, it's unacceptable to be so unprofessional, particularly in the tourism industry where customer service is key. I would strongly advise such individuals to reconsider their profession if they are unable or unwilling to engage with customers.

It is located in the vicinity of the Cathedral. In our case, we saw the interior hallway, the terrace, anyone can see this, the rest was closed. In addition, reduced mobility can only see the ground floor, there is no access to upper floors.
The building is beautiful.

It’s a marvellous landmark alongside the Cathedral. With grandeur befitting a home for Prince-Bishops and Cardinals, it is a treasured edifice.
Constructed in the 1730s, it has had many owners and roles, reflecting the numerous historical changes in the city down the centuries.
Exquisite design features are delightful to admire. It hosts two major museums within.

Are you able to tour the inside of the Palais
Written January 6, 2019
The three separate museums in the Palais de Rohan are the areas open for touring. I do not know if that is the entirety of the Palais itself, or if there is a separate tour of the larger structure, if there is one. Sorry.
