The Unterlinden Museum in Colmar

Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious, the Unterlinden Museum is an unmissable stop on your visit to Colmar! The museum’s most admired work? The Issenheim Altarpiece.

The Unterlinden Museum in Colmar

Housed in a former 13th-century Dominican convent, the Unterlinden Museum offers a tour covering nearly 7,000 years of history, from prehistory to 20th-century art. Whether you’re an art lover or simply curious, this is an unmissable stop on your visit to Colmar!

The Gothic cloister, built between 1280 and 1289, is considered to be the most complete in Alsace.

The museum boasts a rich cultural heritage and is linked by an underground gallery to the new building designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron and to the former municipal baths dating from the early 20th century.

Lose yourself in its various collections of archaeology, hunting and military weapons, ancient art, decorative arts, and finally modern and contemporary art, which include works by major artists such as Monet, Picasso and Dubuffet. A rich collection that will take you on a journey through time.

The most admired work in the museum? The Issenheim Altarpiece. A true treasure of the collection, painted in the 16th century, this polyptych consists of painted panels and a carved frame depicting episodes from the life of Christ and Saint Anthony.

During your visit, do take a moment to admire the splendid cloister garden or the museum’s orchard, and round off your visit with a short break at the Schongauer café-restaurant.
