On June 30, 2007, after twenty years of closure for works, the museum reopened its doors under the direction of Monique Fuchs to present a first slice of the history of Strasbourg, ranging from the first traces of civilization to the year 1800; the second section opened on 16 November 2013, it corresponds to the first floor of the building and covers the Napoleonic period up to the present day. At the end of 2013, the reopening is therefore complete and all the rooms of the museum are open to the public.
