The Bartholdi Museum – Colmar

In Colmar, a city of art and history, a museum pays tribute to one of its most illustrious sons: Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the creator of the Statue of Liberty.

The Bartholdi Museum – Colmar

Did you know that the famous Statue of Liberty in New York was created in Colmar?

It is the work of Bartholdi, who was also a painter, and who attended its unveiling in the United States on 28 October 1886. This iconic monument strengthens the ties between Colmar and the United States, already exemplified by the town’s twinning with Princeton since 1986.

Bartholdi, born in Colmar in 1834 and who died in Paris in 1904, left behind many major works. His first monument, a statue of General Rapp, was unveiled in Colmar in 1856. He also created the fountain dedicated to Admiral Bruat (1864) and the famous Lion of Belfort (1875–1879), a monumental sculpture situated at the foot of the Belfort citadel.

On his death, his widow bequeathed their family home, situated at 30 Rue des Marchands, to the city of Colmar. Spread over two floors, the house contains models, sculptures and mementoes of the artist, which can be explored during a one-hour tour (admission: €5).

To mark the centenary of his death in 2004, a 12-metre-high replica of the Statue of Liberty was erected at the northern entrance to Colmar. It pays tribute to the artist and symbolically welcomes visitors entering the town.

Finally, to experience Colmar in a different way, the hotel offers fun and interactive tours, particularly around the Bartholdi Museum, in the form of treasure hunts that you can do independently on your smartphone.

And to make the most of your stay in Colmar, our hotel welcomes you in the heart of the city centre
