What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find the Hansi Village & Museum to be a charming and underrated gem, particularly for those interested in art and local history. While the museum offers a delightful glimpse into Hansi's work, including his impactful WWII illustrations, some travelers have noted issues with the packaging of purchased items for travel.
"Nice and "cute" museum. I liked it so much. I believe it is very underrated. You may enjoy this museum if you are interested in painting, history of the area (European history generally), personal experience of people, or old stuff. It is a small museum so it would not take more than 30 minutes"

"The staff did a terrible job packaging fragile items. When I asked for more packaging and explained I was taking items on an airplane the employee refused to be helpful. The picture shows how my ceramic bowl was package. Not enough bubble wrap and no tape."
Chelsea Fields
"Love this little museum of Hansi’s works! His works mainly based in the local area (Colmar). You can see how his illustrations becoming more political during WWII. Must visit in my opinion!"
