Highlights

A museum to contemplate, learn to look, exchange, meet and extricate yourself from everyday life! Stroll through a unique architectural setting, from the 13th century cloister of the Unterlinden Convent to the new contemporary building of architects Herzog & de Meuron, via the former Art Deco municipal baths of the early 20th century. Along the way, discover the surprising archaeological collections, the seductive paintings and sculptures, where you will meet Martin Schongauer, Claude Monnet, Pablo Picasso..., the brilliant decorative arts, the amazing arts and popular traditions... And the inevitable Altarpiece of Issenheim (1512-1516). The museum team welcomes you and accompanies you on your visit, whether you are alone, with family or friends. For half an hour or half a day, the Unterlinden Museum is yours. Last entry 30 minutes before the museum closes.

Itinerary

  1. The Unterlinden Museum, famous for its masterpiece, The Altarpiece of Issenheim, officially opened in 1853. Today, the Unterlinden Museum offers its many visitors dialogue and knowledge, emotion and pleasure. It offers a tour route covering nearly 7000 years of history, from prehistory to 21st century art. This journey through time allows us to discover the many facets of the museum’s architecture, unified and magnified by the redevelopment and extension of the architects Herzog & de Meuron completed in 2015. By browsing the rooms of the former 13th century convent, the former municipal baths inaugurated in 1906 and the contemporary spaces built in 2015 as well as the museum’s collections, visitors can see the successive stages of a history of more than 170 years. The walls and works are testimony to the dynamic work of the Schongauer Society, an association that has managed and administered the Unterlinden Museum since 1853.

About Colmar

Colmar, in Alsace, is a half-timbered wine town of flower-lined canals and pastel houses, set between the Vosges mountains and the Rhine.

Colmar's old town is a compact maze of half-timbered houses with steep gables, painted in blues, pinks and ochres, around the Church of St Martin. The Maison des Têtes, covered in carved faces, and the Pfister House are among the finest. In Petite Venise, flower-hung houses stand along the Lauch river, and flat-bottomed boats glide beneath the bridges. Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, was born in Colmar.
