The Unterlinden Museum is one of France's finest regional museums, set in a 13th-century Dominican convent. Its star attraction is Matthias Grünewald's Isenheim Altarpiece, a breathtaking polyptych that depicts the Crucifixion with visceral intensity. The museum also houses an extensive collection of medieval and Renaissance art, including works by Martin Schongauer and Lucas Cranach the Elder. Beyond the altarpiece, visitors can explore modern art galleries with pieces by Picasso, Monet, and local artists. The convent's cloister and chapel provide a serene backdrop, and the museum's recent expansion integrates contemporary architecture with the historic structure.
