Mutzig Museum
The Château des Rohan houses the museum within its walls. The museum installed in 1995, in its north wing. In this setting, breastplates and rifles including the famous Chassepot, architectural elements, a 13th century baptismal font, boundary stones and coats of arms, as well as temporary exhibitions, invite you to discover Mutzig’s rich past.
A new permanent space has been set up entirely and dedicated to archaeological discoveries made at the place called Rain in Mutzig.
Since 2010, a team of archaeologists made up of professionals, amateurs and students has intervened every summer to bring to light the remains of this exceptional prehistoric site. Dated around -90,000, the site is repeatedly occupied by Neanderthals, a nomad hunter-gatherer, living in the Middle Paleolithic (-300,000 to -35,000).
Based on some sixty remains, the section presents the environmental context of Neanderthal man before understanding the reasons for his settlement in the Felsbourg massif and his way of life in the Bruche valley.
Intended as much for neophytes as for specialists, this new exhibition route, embellished with maps, excavation visuals, illustrations and reconstructions of objects, provides a didactic approach to the Neanderthal camp discovered at Mutzig.
The entire permanent exhibition of the museum is accessible to groups by reservation
