Well worth a long visit--plan to spend at least three hours there - Very impressive and varied collection in an amazing former convent--we were told that the Issenheim Altarpiece was a must-see but we were not aware that it was restored so recently--a truly impressive restoration!

A beautiful experience - An excellent time in a museum with a wealth of incredible collections. Of course, there is the famous altarpiece but we discover many interesting objects, statues, paintings. Only the signage would benefit from being clearer because the route is not obvious

Great buildings but a bit confusing division! - We had read positively about the museum and thought that we had to see when we stayed here in Colmar. The buildings which is an old monastery are very charming and beautifully restored. But it takes patience to find around the museum as they are located in several buildings and up to 2 farms so you get a little “roundtossed”. We started by seeing the Altertavlen and the chapel which is the main attraction. Very nice and stunning. We spent a long time in the chapel walking around and sucking all the impressions. It would have been nice if there was more written material in the room in English. We found after a little time the restaurant and ate lunch there,which was nice and affordable. After lunch we went around the rest of the museum but eventually we were a little tired of all the levels and the different buildings. The signage is not very good and many went questioning around. Most could be explained better!

Disappointed! - Disappointed! Holder of a PMR card I had to fight to have a free companion supposedly saying I needed a "card accompanying" what does not exist!! The person at the till was very protocol and not kind. We had guided audio but nothing was in order at the museum. A mess! Too bad because the works and the place are splendid

Communication and visitor journey to be completely reviewed! ... - Cold welcome. Paper plan handed over illogical and poorly constructed. Insufficient signage, unguided route, which makes the audio guide tracking very difficult. Written comments often disconnected DE the work. A messy journey, which makes the experience difficult, tiring, – I was going to say “hard” – . Whereas usually, a visit DE musée is for me a moment DE happiness, DE discovery, DEtachment DE l’histoire DE l’homme... However, the riches are there and the sorting has been done, but it lacks the last stage that would set EN music the whole and think the journey of the neophyte visitor.... Good ear...
