Écomusée d'Alsace: France's largest open-air museum, a unique immersion in Alsace's heritage and traditions!
In 1971, a handful of enthusiasts refused to let Alsace's architectural soul disappear. Their crazy wager? To save and rebuild houses threatened with demolition. In 1980, the first building was reborn in Ungersheim, giving birth to the Écomusée d'Alsace, now France's largest open-air museum! This XXᵉ century village, living to the rhythm of the seasons, plunges visitors into the heart of tradition. In 2025, Patrick Puledda takes charge of the site, ready to write a new chapter in this incredible heritage and human adventure.

Owner's Message
The Ecomusée d'Alsace : just about all Alsace in a nutshell !
The Écomusée d’Alsace is the largest living open-air museum in France and shows an Alsatian village from the early 20th century. It illustrates what rural life was like in Alsace and invites visitors to find out about the popular traditions and art of the region, including buildings and artefacts, craftsmen at work, temporary exhibitions, attractions and events both small and large.
In 2014, the museum also started turning its attention to the major challenges that tomorrow holds in store for us, for the environment, agriculture, nature and “living together”. A new area, “Living in the 21st century”, featuring a festival of experiments in architecture, heralds the start of this new project, which shows that the Écomusée d’Alsace is also very much a museum of today’s society, with a firmly-established heritage and tourist facilities, of which it is justly proud.
