Mulhouse Museums and Galleries

The city’s museums showcase a unique specialization in textile printing, housing millions of patterns and historical machinery. Local history is preserved within the 16th-century walls of the former Town Hall, while the Fine Arts museum focuses on European paintings from the 15th to 20th centuries. Contemporary perspectives are represented through urban art galleries and the Kunsthalle, a converted industrial space hosting rotating modern exhibitions.
