🛖 Écomusée d'Alsace- open-air museum in Ungersheim (Mullhouse)

The Écomusée d'Alsace is the largest open-air museum in France and is included in the list of Musées de France by the French Ministry of Culture. It is located in Alsace near Ungersheim, between Mulhouse and Colmar. The museum was created in 1984 and today shows 72 buildings that previously stood elsewhere and have been rebuilt. The sponsoring association at the time saved it from planned destruction. The buildings include a bakery, a pottery workshop, a school, a stone residential tower, and several farms and half-timbered houses.
At the Ecomusée d'Alsace you will experience moments full of surprises and action! Here the architectural heritage of the region is not only shown, but literally staged in a village with 80 traditional Alsatian buildings.

All of these houses and all of the ancient objects in the Ecomusée are steeped in history. You are immediately and completely immersed in the past: eyes and hands discover the refinement of the constructions, the noble materials, the excellent savoir-faire.

The artisans show the public all facets of their skills: from the potter to the barber, from the baker to the blacksmith, they work to preserve this intangible heritage that is passed on from generation to generation. It is magical to watch these sometimes spectacular and often centuries-old moves!

At the Ecomusée there is all this and more: animations, exhibitions, workshops, etc. organized throughout the year that breathe life and passion into this place.
