About

In the heart of Colmar, The Village Hansi & its Museum celebrates the whimsical world of Jean‑Jacques Waltz, better known as Hansi, the beloved Alsatian illustrator. Set within a charming 19th‑century building, the museum immerses visitors in his colorful universe, where drawings, watercolors, and posters capture both the traditions of Alsace and the artist’s spirited defense of its identity. The exhibition traces Hansi’s career, from satirical works to children’s books, revealing his talent for blending humor with cultural pride. Beyond the galleries, the adjoining boutique recreates the atmosphere of an Alsatian village, offering artisanal products and souvenirs inspired by his art. Together, the museum and shop form a lively tribute to Hansi’s legacy, inviting guests to discover Alsace through the eyes of one of its most iconic storytellers.
