The Musée Bartholdi is a museum dedicated to French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi and is situated at 30 rue des Marchands in Colmar, at the artist's birthplace. The museum has the "Musée de France" label. In 2011, the building was labeled "Maisons des Illustres" by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. In the courtyard there is a statue named Statue des grands soutiens du monde. Two doors of the 17th century were registered as a monument historique on 18 June 1926. In 2012, the museum numbered over 16,000 visitors.
Among many other, works by Bartholdi that can be seen in the museum include:
Definitely an interesting museum, but if you don't speak French, it's a bit of a challenge. Most of the signs are exclusively in French and English translation are sporadically placed. Besides that, there were a lot of really gorgeous sculptures and the building itself was a work of art. And if you're a student, it definitely doesn't hurt to visit because it's free! A fun little place to visit in Colmar!

This is one underrated artist that needs to be seen. A genius painter and a sculptor Bartholdi is the gentleman who designed the statue of liberty. You can see his sketches within the museum as well. A must see!

Very interesting to explore, but not much in terms of non-French explanation (did not try audio guides). Free entry for students.

Very nice to see the development of the statue of liberty from a bit of roughly moulded clay to what stands today. You can tell that the artist really knew his trade. Only downside was that there is very little English translation.
