Colmar Museum Tour: Discover Treasures of Art from the Middle Ages to Modern Times

When you visit the town of Colmar in France, the Unterlinden Museum is a must-see. Originally a 13th-century monastery, it has been used as a museum since the 19th century, boasting a long history. The collection is rich, covering sculptures and paintings from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance, as well as artworks from the 19th to 21st centuries. Climb the spiral staircase down to the underground exhibition hall to see medieval stone tablets and statues, experiencing the heritage of faith; the altar paintings displayed in the church space are solemn, and some walls still preserve ancient frescoes. As you reach the exit, you can continue exploring—the lowest level houses 19th-century oil paintings, including Monet’s depiction of a canyon bathed in orange-red sunset, and two portraits by Picasso, displayed alongside contemporary works. Here, visitors can travel through time, feel the charm of art, and enjoy a unique and romantic experience. Come check it out and create distinctive memories!
