Unterlinden Museum

68000 Colmar

Founded in 1853 by the Schongauer Society, the Unterlinden Museum is one of the must-visit museums in Alsace. Located in Colmar, it offers a journey through nearly 7,000 years of art history, from Prehistory to contemporary creation, along a path where heritage and modernity harmoniously interact. 

Its rich collections are displayed within an exceptional architectural ensemble: a 13th-century Dominican convent, the former municipal baths (1906), and a contemporary extension designed by Herzog & De Meuron (2015). 

The museum houses major masterpieces, including the famous Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald and Nicolas of Haguenau, as well as significant collections of ancient, modern, and contemporary art. 

Permanent collections, temporary exhibitions, and a variety of events invite everyone to explore at their own pace, offering a vibrant cultural experience in the heart of Alsace.
