Musee d'Unterlinden, Bartholdi, and Colmar
Colmar, France or better known as one of the most traditional Alsatian cities, is home to the Museum of Unterlinden. This museum houses some of art history's most celebrity works. The Isenheim Altarpiece by Grunewald is an extraordinary piece to see up close and in person. Other works by Durer, who was from the Alsace region, can also be seen here.
Bartholdi is the man who made the Statue of Liberty. I am not sure how many people are aware that the precious emblem of the USA was actually a gift from a Frenchman. This Frenchman was born and raised in Colmar as well.
