On December 12, 2015, the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, the first museum in the region for visitors, reopened its doors.
The Unterlinden Museum is above all famous for the masterpiece it preserves in the chapel next to the main building: the Issenheim altarpiece by Mathias Grünewald and Nicolas de Haguenau. This extraordinary work, with its multiple meanings, finds a prominent place in the guide.
The general guide to the collections is a natural part of the aesthetics designed by Herzog & de Meuron for the new museum. Designed in collaboration with the team of curators, who wrote all the texts, it presents the history of the collections in an illustrated introduction, then the major pieces on each double page in a notice that faces the illustration.
