Vast collection of paintings and sculptures features the Retable d'Issenheim (Issenheim Altarpiece,) considered to be the most important piece of art in the museum.

It was used as a Monastery in 13AD when constructed. Later on in 19AD turned into a Museum as a Romanesque -Gothic syle. Nowadays you can see the paintings remaining from Medieval time. Artists such as Monet, Dubuffet and picasso paintings are also exhebited. Intereting place to see.

With 400 vehicles on show, the Schlumpf Collection is certainly the most prestigious collection in the world. This is demonstrated by the two Bugatti Royales, including the famous Coupé Napoléon, the 150 Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, Maybach, Mercedes models, etc. From the first car, a Panhard-Levassor from 1894, to the present day, the Cité de l'Automobile brings the saga of the automobile to life. A living history as visitors can start a vintage car with a crank.

With over 400 vehicles in sparkling condition , it is said to be the largest auto museum in the world , a real must see if you are anything of a car enthusiast , impossible to do it full justice in one visit . Only one criticism , it is heavily slanted to French makes , particularly Bugatti’s , and you have to search very hard to find he odd Bentley , Jag , or Aston Martin .

Beautifully displayed selection of all eras of locomotives. From the earliest steam to modern day 500kph electrics. Trains from French Emperors and Présidents and everything in between. Also the biggest and most detailed model train set - over 12 meters long. A sight to behold. Original film and video displays and antique carriages decorated and set up in their original style- when 1st Class was fitted with armchairs. Those were the days!

During our Viking River Cruise’ “Rhine Getaway” journey, our ship docked at Breisach. We then took a ship’s shore excursion to visit “Musee du Memorial des Combats de la Poche de Colmar”. The museum had excellent exhibits, showing the history of the fierce battles between the advancing American & French armies and the defending German army from December 1944 to February 1945 when American & French armies liberated the Colmar Pocket. Upon entering the museum gate, we were met by an artillery piece in a nice courtyard. We then walked to the wall with a plaque, commemorating the 50 the anniversary of the liberation of Turckheim Village by French Army 1st Battalion and U.S. Army 112th Regiment/28th Division. After hearing our excellent tour guide’s concise and precise briefing of the history of the Battle of Colmar Pocket, we entered the museum building. There, we were greeted by surprisingly elaborate exhibits of weapons and equipments used by the armies on both sides. We were even more impressed by the exhibits of strikingly realistic replicas of American and German soliders in their battle situations, which brought the entire exhibits to life. Just by looking at the solmn faces of those soldiers on exhibits, we could feel their tension, anxiety, determination and perseverance. We were tremendously moved by the exhibits which were even more effective in history telling than many well-versed history tellers. This museum is a must visit place during a visit to Colmar area.
