There are car museums, and then there’s the Cité de l’Automobile, which is a spectacle that almost defies belief. Car connoisseurs will travel long distances to see just one Bugatti: Well, there are more Bugattis at this former textile mill than in any other single place in the world. You have 400 cars to see and more than a quarter of these are Bu...
If the Cité de l’Automobile may be the best car museum in the world, the same honour applies to Cité du Train, which is certainly the biggest in the world. From the earliest locomotives in the 1840s to the cutting-edge TGV, you will lose count of the number of trains lined up. What’s also cool is the way the Cité du Train manages to make the exhibi...
This textile-printing attraction is many things in one: The museum deals with decorative arts, fashion, local history and industry. You’ll see the big machines from the early years of industrialised printing, like the Lefèvre copper roller from 1809, and a whole range of sewing machines and pantographs. But there’s also the beautiful printed fabric...
One of Mulhouse’s greatest pieces of technical heritage takes centre-stage at the largest electricity museum in Europe: A steam generator from 1901, which is coupled to a Sulzer BBC alternator, sure to give goosebumps to the physicists among us. Electropolis brings you on a voyage through man’s relationship with electricity, including the earliest ...
Mulhouse’s former city hall is from 1552 and is in a renaissance style typical of the Rhone area. All but one side of the exterior is covered with trompe l’oeil painting, with allegorical images of justice, courage, temperance, faith and charity. On the right side is a stone head hanging from a chain: This is the klapperstein, which weighed 12 kilo...
Go into the city hall for an informative museum about the history of Mulhouse. You’ll get to know about the days of the city state, the Republic of Mulhouse, which lasted up to the French Revolution and Mulhouse’s development as an industrial giant, starting in the 18th century. The displays all evoke life in the city down the years, with antique c...
Mulhouse’s zoo was founded in 1868 by a group of philanthropic industrialists and encompasses 25 hectares on the edge of the Tannenwald forest. Around a thousand animals are kept here, from 170 different species. There’s an arctic area, with polar bears and arctic foxes, and big enclosures for Asian lions, Siberian tigers, snow leopards, squirrel m...
Also created by industrialists in the 1860s is Mulhouse’s Fine Arts Museum, which gives you an overview of the history of European Art, leaning heavily towards the 19th century. The highpoint of the museum is “La Scène de Patinage” (Skating Scene), an oil painting on wood by the Flemish renaissance master Pieter Breughel the Younger. The works of 1...
Close to the zoo in the upper, southern part of Mulhouse is a eccentric remnant from 1898. The Tour du Belvédère is a sort of mini-Eiffel Tower, 20 metres high and made with wrought iron. Take the stairs to the top for an observation platform at 350 metres above sea level and with a 360° view of the Vosges, Black Forest, Jura and Bernese Alps mount...
This neo-gothic church was completed in 1866 and at 97 metres is the tallest of any protestant church in France. It replaced a church that went back to the 1100s but was demolished in 1858 because it was in a state of disrepair. What’s great is that a lot of the decoration from the old church was installed at the new one: So you’ll find the incredi...
