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!

This Freilichtmuseum situate in the Gutach valley is designed to give you a glimpse into life in the Black Forest during the late Middle Ages. The collection of local houses and other structures is an interesting window into earlier times. The tour that we took was informative in helping us understand the life of ordinary people then. One unpleasant aspect was the amount of cheap tourist shops surrounding the museum. There wasn't much authentic about this consumerist aspect. I will say though that this type of museum is not for everyone. If you're of school age or just love history, this is a great place to spend an hour or two. If not, it would probably be more interesting to spend your day somewhere else in this gorgeous region.
