Musée des Beaux-Arts
The elegant first-floor rooms of the Palais Rohan (Rohan Palace) house the Musée des Beaux-Arts (Fine Arts Museum), a comprehensive
provincial collection covering European paintings from the Middle Ages to 1870. Memling's Polyptich of Vanity steals the show,
although the museum is justly proud of La belle Strasbourgeoise, by Nicolas de Largillière - a portrait of an enigmatic local
lady. The ground floor of this same Renaissance building is home to the separate Strasbourg's Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Decorative
Arts Museum).
