Museum Würth France Erstein
About This Museum
Tucked away in the industrial zone of Erstein, Museum Würth France feels like a well-kept secret for contemporary art lovers. It sprouted from the ambitious vision of German collector Reinhold Würth, opening its doors to bring a slice of his vast, world-renowned collection directly to the heart of Alsace. The space primarily celebrates French artists from the 20th and 21st centuries, with temporary exhibitions that feel both fresh and thoughtfully curated. Stepping inside, you leave the functional surroundings behind for a serene, white-cube environment that lets the art do all the talking.
Collection Highlights
You'll find yourself face-to-face with bold, graphic works by Niki de Saint Phalle and the playful sculptural forms of Jean Tinguely. The rotating exhibits often pull gems from the wider Würth collection, so you might encounter anything from a haunting Anselm Kiefer piece to vibrant canvases by Robert Delaunay on any given visit.
Visitor Information
It's surprisingly easy to spend an afternoon here, and best of all, admission is completely free. Just check their website before you go as their opening hours can shift around their exhibition schedule.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a striking piece of modernism—all clean lines, glass, and pale stone. Its sleek, geometric form creates a fascinating contrast with its pragmatic location in a business park.
