I love art and painting (and my friends do too) so I'd go to the Fine Arts Museum with a look at the lovely Steinbach Park on the way. It's just been made over and looks great! We'd go past the stunning Saint-Jean Chapel to end the afternoon on a high. If there's still time then it's worth a trip to the Museum of Printed Textiles. There's always a great exhibition on as well as their permanent collection about the history of textile printing, specifically in Mulhouse. 7 pm I'd take you for dinner at Food Link on Rue de l'Arsenal.
