There are two museums to discover in Neuf-Brisach. The Vauban Museum that traces the history of the city and the MAUSA Vauban, a museum of urban art and street art located in an old casemate. Despite their very different themes, they are both definitely worth a closer look. Several museums are open to you in Alsace Rhin Brisach.
Located in the majestic Belfort Gate, the city's historical museum houses two rooms. In one of them there is the relief map of the city highlighted by a video projection and various comments. A bust of Vauban shows a film telling the history of the construction of the city. In the second room, an exhibition presents the history of the city from its creation to the 2nd World War. The passage to the Vauban Museum is a beautiful introduction to the discovery of the ramparts.
This Museum of urban art and street art offers you internal access to the city fortifications.
1200 m² of gallery presents to you works by international artists known in this field. From floor to ceiling, observe the style of each graffiti artist… Little blue Indians by Cranio - the blue room by Denis Meyers - Jérôme Mesnager and his white silhouettes - Joseph Ford and his photographs where people's sweaters blend into the decor - Wark da Rocinha and his colorful angels…
One of the main specificities of MAUSA is that it remains open during artistic residencies, so that visitors can see the “work in progress” and meet the artists to talk with them.
Perfect to do in summer to escape the intense heat!
A remarkable place to visit. You will find there exclusively the collections from a vast Gallo-Roman agglomeration located north of the commune of Biesheim, on the site of the disappeared medieval village of “Oedenbourg”, destroyed during the 30 Years' War.
The museum offers a panorama of Gallo-Roman civilization and the military presence in the surrounding area. Four thematic areas mark the route and allow you to approach the collections from different aspects.
You will discover in this place the life of an extraordinary man essentially known for his fight against slavery. Let yourself be guided by a circuit composed of more than one hundred and fifty visuals, original works (books, manuscripts, newspapers), period objects and porcelain signed by his father Marc, originally from Fessenheim.
Fessenheim is one of the five sites in the Grand Est on the “route of abolition of slavery and human rights” which is part of the vast international “Slave Route” project supported by the UN.
In a converted barn, a place entirely dedicated to the history of the motorcycle, offers nearly 100 models in perfect condition with prestigious brands of yesteryear: Ravat, Radior, Monet-Goyon, Terrot, Liberia, Hercules and many others!
