Contrary to what is indicated on the application, the museum is open on Sunday morning from 10 a.m. until noon. Very interesting museum, a real pleasure to discover the creations of Mr. Bartholdi. Everything is presented so well. To discover !

An enthralling selection of the master’s oeuvre is marvellous to admire. From Allegories to Vercingetorix there is much to enjoy and marvel at.

Famous for his monumental works there are many wonderful examples here. An equestrian Vercingetorix portrays the power and determination of the Gallic king and chieftain of the Arverni peoples.

Four allegorical figures of a Goldsmith, Engraver, Scholar and Painter are captivating in depicting engrossing activities and pursuits.

The upper floor is dedicated to what is deemed to be Bartholdi’s most famous and important work, namely Liberty Enlightening the World, commonly known as the Statue of Liberty. Designed by the artist its metal works were constructed by Gustave Eiffel.

Excellent small museum tucked away in the historical city centre. We specially liked the display on the top floor. There are very few originals, mostly plaster models of his work, but all interesting nevertheless. Be aware that they take a two hour lunch break in the middle of the day!

The museum is pleasant, the tour interesting and informative.
This allows you to discover in detail the artistic and technical creation of the statute of freedom but also all of BARTHOLDI's work which is very rich.

One major downside is the reception. The person who was responsible for issuing the tickets was absolutely disgusting (I'm weighing my words) with visitors, including foreigners for whom it was not easy to make themselves understood. Unfortunately, they were not the only ones. That day, I was very ashamed of being a French citizen whose administration is not able to behave correctly towards users, visitors and tourists who wish to discover our beautiful country and this beautiful city.

The contents of the museum are interesting and we learn a lot about Bartholdi and his contemporaries. This man has had a multitude of different lives and a lot of talent.
However, we were more struck by the extreme kindness of the staff towards our one-year-old daughter who was not the best behaved than by Bartholdi's talent. Thanks again!

The birthplace of the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, the Belfort lion etc.. is worth a visit, and a visit. The museum is well organized, the apartments are beautiful.
Attention visit on several floors.
On the other hand the shop is disappointing, choice of cheesy objects, posters folded and in bad condition, not even a statue of liberty in keychain.

Very nice museum about Bartholdi, his life, and legacy. It's the home where he was born and lived for a short part of his childhood before moving with his family to Paris. Lots regarding the history of the Statue of Liberty - great info. You walk up the old stairs to the top floor and work your way down. There appeared to be a downloadable app for an audio tour, but didn't bother to check. Many info placards in French, German and English - some in French only. Interesting exhibits and lots of info to take in. Worth a visit.

This was a complete surprise and an unexpected delight. I rate this the top site at Colmar to see. (Granted I am an American and live in NYC). The history and works of Bartholdi are inspiring and interesting... What an accomplished artist this man was.... Painter, sculptor, designer. I had no idea. The models, tools, pictures and stories behind the Statue of Liberty were truly interesting... And now having been to his home, I have a new understanding and appreciation of the artist behind one of my country's most beloved tourist sites. I'm looking forward to visiting other statues inside NYC also designed by Bartholdi in Union Square and the Heights. Vive La France!!

This small museum, focuses on the life and work of Bartholdi, the artist and sculptor best known for creating the Statue of Liberty. Like many reviewers, we felt that descriptions of the works and photos in English might be a good idea, especially in light of the subject matter.

We still had a great experience. The sculptures and photos give you a sense of the man's unique style and ambitious vision. There are some really interesting pieces on the main floor especially. The staff were friendly and helpful. We visited with two small children and they all were very gracious, especially the gentleman who seemed to be in charge, with whom we had a very nice conversation. All in all, a nice museum in a really great and friendly town.
