Most important exhibitions Alsace

Since 2013, rue de la Moselle, thanks to die-hard street art enthusiasts such as Lynda Freyman, who organises a number of events around art with local artists or artists from elsewhere, the great wall at 9, rue de la Moselle has been used as an ephemeral painting to the delight of passers-by and street art enthusiasts. Each month, an artist is invited to express himself through a personal and large-scale work that remains on display for a month, in full view of everyone, directly in the street, giving it a different and ephemeral touch each time and adding to the renewed dynamism of this part of the city centre. In front of the WALL, you can't remain indifferent!

Like every year during the last week of June, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines unveils a thousand and one wonders from the bowels of the earth, treasures as mysterious as they are fascinating. We discover minerals from the ends of the earth and precious stones whose purity and rarity can reach new heights. Mineral & Gem raises Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines to the^2nd place in the world, with a thousand exhibitors from about fifty countries. Professionals and amateurs alike can admire and acquire minerals, fossils and fine stones.

Concerts, cinema, exhibitions, festivals, puppets: the Lézard association organizes contemporary art exhibitions that show the richness of local plastic creation. The association also develops a rich musical program inside and outside the walls, with the Grillen. It also programs film-debate evenings with the CGR on societal issues. Initiator of very popular festivals, in particular the Musiques métisses festival programmed each year in spring in various places, the Lézard is never short of playful and eclectic ideas.

This exhibition takes you back to the vintage era. Organized by the Vespa Scooter Club of Strasbourg, the presentation of about a hundred scooter models is truly magical. The machines are beautiful and we are surprised by the state of conservation. Rutilants, coloured: they make you want to buy one. During this weekend, entertainment is provided, as well as a small restaurant and a refreshment bar. Craftsmen and merchants set up their temporary stands, and you have the opportunity to acquire objects in the style of that period. The Pin-up d'Alsace do their show, and the show is worth a visit. A parade of vintage dresses is also on the agenda.
