Écomusée d'Alsace

The largest open-air museum in France

The Écomusée d’Alsace is an open-air museum that preserves, studies and showcases an exceptional collection of buildings and artefacts illustrating rural life in Alsace from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. Comprising half-timbered houses, workshops and buildings that have been moved and reassembled, this architectural collection is complemented by everyday objects, furniture and tools linked to craft and agricultural activities.

As a Musée de France, the Écomusée d'Alsace carries out conservation, research and educational work, notably through the demonstration of traditional skills and techniques. Based in Ungersheim, it is also part of a contemporary approach to reflecting on the relationships between societies, territories and the environment.
