About The Village Hansi & its Museum
In the heart of Colmar, the Village Hansi celebrates the beloved Alsatian artist Jean-Jacques Waltz, known as Hansi, whose charming, nostalgic illustrations of storybook Alsace — with its half-timbered villages, storks, cheerful storybook children in traditional dress and rolling vineyards — helped shape the world's image of the region. The museum displays his drawings, watercolours, posters and objects, revealing both his delightful artistry and his role as a fervent patriot during the years when Alsace was disputed between France and Germany. Below, a boutique brims with the colourful Alsatian imagery he inspired. Charming, colourful and deeply Alsatian, the Village Hansi and its museum offer a delightful immersion in the picturesque world of one of the region's most iconic artists — a joyful stop in one of the prettiest towns of the Alsace Wine Route.
