Overview
-
Colmar’s Musée Unterlinden is one of the most visited fine arts museums in France.
Located in Colmar, at the crossroads of Europe, with Germany and Switzerland on its doorstep, it occupies a unique architectural space that unites the 13th-century Dominican convent of Unterlinden with the highly contemporary new building by the Basel-based architects Herzog & de Meuron. The museum enjoys “Musée de France” status and presents a permanent collection covering nearly 7,000 years of art and history, from the Prehistoric period to 21st-century art, including one of the masterpieces of Western art: the Isenheim Altarpiece, created between 1512 and 1516 by Grünewald and Niclaus of Haguenau.
