Visit overview

Mineralogy Museum of Strasbourg is closed during renovation of the university collections. Do not rely on its former public schedule; retain the record for reopening and consult the official university museum notice before travelling. The mapped public approach is at Rue Blessig 1, 67000, Strasbourg.

Entry notes

The Mineralogy Museum and the Institute of Geology at 1 rue Blessig are closed for renovation, and the university now points to a 2027 return without publishing a firm reopening date. Any off-site exhibition or workshop uses its own dates, address and reservation conditions, so check the museum's current 'En ce moment' page rather than travelling to the closed institute.

Best time to visit

Wait for a dated reopening notice from the University of Strasbourg before adding the museum to an itinerary.
