Musée Bartholdi

So much wonderful information about the oeuvre of this sculptor, who was a local boy made good and much more than the creator of the Statue of Liberty. But isn't that enough? A scale model of Lady Liberty graces a traffic circle outside of town, too.

Was treated poorly by the receptionist. Sad, ruined the experience. She thought she was being clever but was rather demeaning. Worst thing is she represents Colmar to the world. Museum was interesting but very simple. A few models of the artist work and some photographs that are available online. The most interesting areas were his studios and recreated rooms.

Great little museum giving a fascinating insight into the famous son of Colmar - "Auguste Bartholdi". Naturally there's a big focus on his most famous work "The Statue of Liberty" and there are many exciting details and photos of it's design, construction and transport to America. The house itself is the birthplace of Bartholdi and is very well kept in the original period style. It has a great collection of pieces and samples and is not too big or overwhelming for children. We had a great time and the whole family learned alot.

Nice museum if you're interested in Bartholdi and his life. I wish they would translate more descriptions in English. It's disappointing to pay for a ticket and have most descriptions in french only!

The 5 euro entry fee is definitely worth it, as the museum provides enlightening insights into Bartholdi, Colmar, and the region. Located in the birthplace of Auguste Bartholdi, which was bequeathed to the town in 1907, the museum spans three levels dedicated to this iconic 19th-century artist, known for creating the Statue of Liberty and the Lion of Belfort. Inaugurated on November 18, 1922, it houses an impressive collection of sculptures, paintings, drawings, photographs, sketches, and models. Recognized as a Museum of France, the building was awarded the "Maisons des Illustres" label by the Ministry of Culture and Communication in 2011.

I loved it. I wish I had more time to spend in. We went right before lunch and we didn't have lots of time since they were closing for lunch. But it was great! The only that I noticed that it's there's no access for strollers or wheelchairs that was so sad that some people with disability can't have access to all the 3 floors. Otherwise highly recommend.

For students, they let you tour the place for free. And it has such value and so much to see. It is infact the creator of the Statue of Liberty's house. Bartholdi, a great sculptur and great artist. Made my visit in colmar worth it.

Cute little museum about the person behind the statue of liberty. Worth a visit. Museum not that big. Beautiful museum with so much to see regarding Bartholdi's work. It is definitely worth a visit to see the work of this diverse artist
