There are small, medium, and large music boxes that you can put a coin in and they play and some of them have moving parts and animation - the kids loved it!

The museum was established in 1849 and opened to the general public in 1853. Sculptures, artworks and the amazing Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald (sculpted and painted in 1512-1516). So many more medieval and historic items to see. Expect your tour to take at least two hours and if it's cold, keep your coat on. Much of the museum is not air conditioned or heated but there are WCs throughout. [Review 21176 overall - 95 in France - 139 of 2024.]

The Audioguides are 2 euros per person and are very much worth purchasing. Tip: You can buy a Colmar pass across the plaza at the Visitor Center for about 30 euros per person which gets you into all the museums (except the chocolate factory) as well as the train and boat tours. Worth it if you are visiting for more than one day!

This Freilichtmuseum situate in the Gutach valley is designed to give you a glimpse into life in the Black Forest during the late Middle Ages. The collection of local houses and other structures is an interesting window into earlier times. The tour that we took was informative in helping us understand the life of ordinary people then. One unpleasant aspect was the amount of cheap tourist shops surrounding the museum. There wasn't much authentic about this consumerist aspect. I will say though that this type of museum is not for everyone. If you're of school age or just love history, this is a great place to spend an hour or two. If not, it would probably be more interesting to spend your day somewhere else in this gorgeous region.

The museum is actually 3 old Alsatian residences in Strasbourg, filled with daily insight on the lives of people in the region in the 18th and 19th centuries. It's almost like a maze, in fact, I am not even sure if I saw everything because there was just so much. It takes you out onto the porches in the courtyard on ocassion. I would want to live here even now, if it wasn't a museum. One of the neatest parts was a room full of antique toys, from dolls sporting gigantic bows to elaborate miniature toy kitchens. You can see agricultural items, religious items, to a typical Alsatian kitchen set up for the time period, down to the pots meant for preserving butter. If you are in Strasbourg, this is a must see.
