Instead of the old bookstore chapter, just opposite the famous Maison des Têtes, this museum dedicated to Hansi was opened in late November 2015. For memory, Hansi (alias Jean-Jacques Waltz) is a famous colmarien illustrator and cartoonist. The museum is designed as a authentic Alsatian village, with paved alleys, arched porch and main square. With a large stained glass window reproducing a Hansi design, a large wooden staircase gives access to the museum space on the first floor. The setting of the sites reveals many original works of Hansi in a playful course that reveals children's drawings, watercolours and advertising posters, but also Alsatian crockery and vintage stamped products. At the end of your visit you can shop in the museum shop on the ground floor. It is full of regional products: fine wines, preserved crafts and foie gras, gingerbread in many forms, without forgetting a very interesting choice of works on Hansi and Alsace! Note also: the Hansi museum can be privatized in professional events.

HANSI et ses dessins ont bercé mon enfance du nord de l'Alsace.
Les assiettes étaient ornées de ses dessins dans le buffet de la salle à manger.
Ma mamie artiste peintre alsacienne, s'inspirait souvent de lui.
Adulte étant exilée dans le sud ouest..revenir sur les pas de Hansi à été un bond merveilleux dans mes souvenirs d'enfance auprès de mes aïeux.
L'Alsace ma terre de cœur, d'accueil, de beauté.
