About

The Prints and Drawings Office in Strasbourg is a collection of graphic art that forms part of the Museums of the City of Strasbourg. Its collections were created from 1877 and were then attached to the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts. The fonds, which is very rich, covers artistic fields and techniques specific to graphic arts: here we find drawings, prints (cuts on wood, etchings, lithographs) covering a period from the 14th to the mid-19th century. The works corresponding to the later chronological period are kept at the graphic arts office of the Musée d'Art moderne et contemporain de Strasbourg.

The stamp office is located on the third floor of the former Imperial School of the Military Health Service in Strasbourg, 5 Place du Château, close to the cathedral.

The collections would be temporarily welcomed within the building "L'Union Sociale" (1 rue de la Coopérative), among the mutualised reserves of museums...
