We loved the place, both the building, the magnificent interior, and the surroundings. What can I say about the altarpiece, it is wonderful. You can go up, and I recommend it, to the upper floor and have a general view of the altarpiece and the chapel where it is located. There is an elevator, it is well prepared for reduced mobility.

The view of the Isenheim Altarpiece after its restoration is unforgettable. The freshness of the colors is dazzling. In addition, we had the chance to benefit from the passionate and competent comments of a player in this restoration. The guard from whom we had asked for information had the fortunate initiative of directing us to this colleague. The only problem for which the museum is not responsible but rather the municipality of Colmar, is that the parking lots near the museum are poorly signposted and we wandered for a long time in our car before finding salvation in the Town Hall parking lot.

The museum is located in a former religious building and includes a part devoted to religious art, particularly profitable ones, and another for more contemporary art. The layout is remarkable and the collections imposing. This is by far the most interesting part of our trip to Colmar.

Stunning location in the former monastery of the Dominican nuns (XIII°), it is a museum that collects valuable works of art. It owes its name because it has the chapel dedicated to "St. John, under the lime tree" which in German translates to st. Johann unter der linde. hence the nickname Unterlinden.

The Isenheim Altar by Grünwald and Niklas von Hagenau alone makes the visit worthwhile. We were given a senior discount without even asking. Be sure to take an audio guide for the description of the Isenheim Altar. Afterwards you can have a nice lunch in the Pfeffel restaurant across the square.

This is a moderately sized museum, meaning that it is not so huge that Museum Fatigue sets in. You can do a good tour of the exhibits in about 2 hours. The building itself is quite beautiful. The exhibits are arranged is a strange manner separated over 3 floors but they are still easy enough to navigate. I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of art on display.

The Unterlinden Museum is at the top of my list of favorite museums! Even more beautiful and interesting since it was renovated. A special mention for the Isenheim altarpiece which is even better highlighted now - my last visit was in 2020 -. If there is a museum to see in Alsace, then it is this one.

A magnificent museum with very rich collections. We went there for the Isenheim altarpiece and we discovered that there was more than just this obviously unmissable masterpiece. This marvel is very well presented with, above all, great pedagogy. The explanations given by the audio guide are satisfactory. The welcome is courteous, caring and smiling. This museum is too rich...we have given up exploring everything...so we will have to come back...which we will do with great pleasure.

Free entrance for the press helps tremendously! But if you’re a fan of medieval, Gothic and Renaissance art, this place is the ticket! I found the layout confusing even with the pamphlet guide but that’s a minor aspect considering the rich collection. All are translated into English. The Isenheim masterpiece is worth a view but I found the collection overall excellent. I also love the collection of 18th and 19th century painted armoires. Some modern art too (a Picasso).

A worthwhile museum in a 13th century convent. If you can tear yourself away from the near perfection of Colmar, this is a wonderful diversion. A bit difficult to navigate through but the art on display is excellent. The highlight is the very quiet and serene room where the Isenheim Altarpiece is housed. An 16th century masterpiece which is worth the trip to Colmar for any devotee of religious art.
