There are small, medium, and large music boxes that you can put a coin in and they play and some of them have moving parts and animation - the kids loved it! There are old clocks, traditional clothing from long ago, and a fake mine shaft with gems and stones. There is a nice little cafe and clean restrooms.

The museum was established in 1849 and opened to the general public in 1853. Sculptures, artworks and the amazing Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald (sculpted and painted in 1512-1516). So many more medieval and historic items to see. Expect your tour to take at least two hours and if it's cold, keep your coat on. Much of the museum is not air conditioned or heated but there are WCs throughout. [Review 21176 overall - 95 in France - 139 of 2024.]

The Audioguides are 2 euros per person and are very much worth purchasing. Tip: You can buy a Colmar pass across the plaza at the Visitor Center for about 30 euros per person which gets you into all the museums (except the chocolate factory) as well as the train and boat tours. Worth it if you are visiting for more than one day!

If you're a car enthusiast and find yourself in the Alsace region, this museum is well worth a…read morevisit. Whether or not it is truly the largest automobile collection in the world, it is undoubtedly one of the most impressive collections of historic automobiles you'll ever see, particularly from the pre-1900 and early 20th-century eras. The exhibits begin with an extensive display of hood ornaments before leading visitors through the evolution of the automobile. Highlights include rare and beautifully preserved vehicles from manufacturers such as Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, Maserati, Peugeot, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Renault, and many others. From elegant touring cars and luxury sedans to racing machines and Formula One cars, there is something here for every automotive enthusiast. Plan to spend a half a day exploring the museum, as the collection is enormous and there is far more to see than most visitors expect. Bring a fully charged phone--you'll be taking plenty of photos. The museum is located in Mulhouse. You can take the train or drive as I did from Colmar which is only - 50 minutes drive. It's a great attraction of the Alsace region.

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it." -Pablo Picasso…read more It took a bit to find the galleries that I wanted but once there, wow. This is the art I love to see - impressionists galore! On a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet without schoolkids or large groups. There was nothing distracting me from enjoying the art. The exhibit of existentialist Bernard Buffet works was magnificent with a number of his pieces. Andy Warhol considered Buffet the "last great artist of Paris." Beyond that, Cy Twombly, Edgar Degas. Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh (I've never seen "Marguerite Gachet at the Piano" before and the "Self-Portrait with a Japanese Print" was amazing) , Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse (paintings *and* sculpture!), Alexej Von Jawlensky's "Self-portrait") and more. What museum would be complete without works by Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder and Salvador Dali? So much to see, so much to enjoy, so much to appreciate. It is one of the greatest art museums in Switzerland and I had a tremendous visit. Gift shop has lots to purchase but the prices for even the smallest prints are very high. I didn't even get a postcard today. [Review 21230 overall - 78 in Switzerland - 195 of 2024.]

Technorama is a nice science museum, but it is pretty pricey. It's 28 CHF a ticket but if you use…read moreyour student ID, you can save 3 CHF. It's about a 20 minute train ride outside of Zurich (which if you're not a tourist with any form of Swiss Travel pass, the train ride will cost you about 25 CHF round trip) They have many different exhibits and lots of hands on activities. I would say you need two to three hours to explore everything, not including the shows. We were only able to catch one show, which was the gas one. Although the show was in German, which we don't speak or understand, we were still able to follow along. Tip - they have lockers by the entrance that you can put your belongings there. You just need a 2 CHF coin for deposit (which you'll get back).

It is about. 30 minute train ride, however, double check which stop is the closest to the science center. We chose to get off at the main station in Winterthur and took a 45 minute walk from there, but there is a train stop MUCH closer. The center is 3 floors of exhibits based on light, magnetism, optics, electricity, water, and much more, and even more wonderful is that the exhibits are all interactive in which visitors can touch and do. In fact, there were as many adults as children participating, doing things. It is EASY to spend an afternoon there for sure and not notice the time going by. The museum is a large space, hence the peculiar location, on the edge of town in Winterthur. The center also has workshops for children to participate, however, they are in German. They also have a demonstration, and this too is in German, but they have placards/booklets to explain what the speaker is saying. It is a neat place to visit, and especially if you have kids of ANY age....they will all enjoy being here, really. A few people reviewed this place and included comments about the food. Honestly, it is fine, but again, you don't come here for the food...it's cafeteria food, European style. We did take the bus back. It is the #5 and it goes to the main train station. Unfortunately, from there we couldn't tell it went since it didn't indicate it , meanwhile the Technorama ends/starts there. Overall, a 4.5 for sure. My one critique is that it isn't well noted on the "tourist boards" which point you in directions of different spots compared to other things from the main station.
