Maison des Tetes

Worth visiting only because of a famous Schongauer painting. The painting is very beautiful and so is the church, but skip this if you are pressed for time.

The museum exhibits objects of very different types e.g. furniture, armour, paintings, knitted carpets, and silverware, but its highlight is definitely the Isenheim altarpiece by Gruenewald, a revolutionary Alsatian Renaissance painter. Even if you are not much into art it is still shocking to see how modern and inventive this painter was. The collection also includes paintings by Holbein the Elder, Renoir, and Picasso. The museum also shows some very interesting touring exhibits and also musical events. The locals are very proud of this museum and many people turn out for the openings of exhibits. Entrance includes an excellent audio guide for many of the paintings.

A large church entirely made of pink stone.

Dedicated to the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, who was native to Colmar.

A marvellous old wooden house, one of the oldest in Colmar.

A museum about wine in the Alsace. It has exhibits on the history of wine, how it is grown, all aspects of wine making (including pressing, fermentation, barrel making and bottle making) and wine appreciation. The visit is supported by an audio guide which also gives access to interactive wine-themed games. There are opportunities to taste wine samples.
