Das historische Museum Saar liegt direkt neben dem Schloss Saarbrücken. Es beherbergt eine Dauerausstellung zur Geschichte des Saarlandes seit 1870. Daneben gibt es regelmäßig wechselnde Sonderausstellungen zu verschiedenen Themen der Geschichte.

An die NS-Zeit, in der hier das Gestapo Gefängnis untergebracht war, erinnert eine erhaltene Zelle mit Originalinschriften der Insassen an den Wänden.

Ein besonderes Highlight stellt die unterirdische Burganlage mit den Kasematten dar, die 14 m unter dem Schlossplatz liegen und besichtigt werden können. Diese Kasematten wurden zwischen 2003 und 2007 freigelegt und erstrecken sich über 1500 m²
