Musée Bartholdi
About

In the historic center of Colmar, the Musée Bartholdi celebrates the life and work of Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor best known for creating the Statue of Liberty. Housed in the artist’s birthplace, a 17th‑century mansion, the museum offers an intimate journey through his career, displaying models, drawings, and personal objects that reveal the creative process behind monumental works. Visitors can explore rooms filled with sculptures, architectural projects, and memorabilia, while the courtyard features striking bronze casts that echo Bartholdi’s vision of freedom and civic pride. Beyond its collections, the museum preserves the atmosphere of the artist’s home, allowing guests to connect with his legacy in a uniquely personal setting. As both a cultural landmark and a tribute to one of France’s most influential sculptors, the Musée Bartholdi stands as a cornerstone of Colmar’s heritage, blending art, history, and inspiration in the heart of Alsace.
