Three connected half-timbered houses on the river turned into a folk museum of Alsatian daily life — costumes, painted furniture, reconstructed farmhouse interiors and toy collections, wandered through galleries and courtyards that are themselves as much the exhibit as the objects inside them. A quieter, more human counterpoint to the Palais Rohan's grandeur.
