Last month while on holiday in Alsace- France, we visited the historical museum in Haguenau.
The museum is housed in a beautiful building which was built between 1900-1905 by the towns' mayor Xavier Nessel.
Mr Nessel was also an archaeologist and collector of a antiquity, he had the neo-renaissance style building built as a gift to the town to serve as a museum, archive and public library.
The museum is small, but pleasant and has some interesting items of local history, such as a Roman helmet with the engraved names of 5 legionaries who had worn it.
The museum is certainly worth a visit if you are in the region.
