The museum is located on the ground floor of the Palais Rohan, the former residence of the prince-bishops, built between 1732 and 1742 by Robert de Cotte, the king's first architect. It is housed in the sumptuous flats of the cardinals of Rohan, as well as in the former stables and courtrooms.
The decorative arts collections trace the diversity and development of applied arts in Strasbourg from 1681 to 1870, particularly in the fields of furniture, ceramics, clocks and goldsmithing. The museum also displays a selection of mechanical toys from the Tomi Ungerer Foundation.
