The Hansi Village & Museum (Village Hansi et son Musée) is a charming attraction in Colmar dedicated to Jean-Jacques Waltz, known by his pseudonym Hansi. Hansi was a beloved Alsatian illustrator and writer whose works celebrated Alsatian culture and humorously criticized German influence during the annexation period. The museum displays original drawings, watercolors, and lithographs, along with a recreated Alsatian village complete with half-timbered houses, a schoolroom, and a winstub (traditional tavern). Visitors can immerse themselves in the whimsical world of Hansi's illustrations, which often feature colorful characters, local costumes, and scenes of daily life. The museum also includes a shop selling prints and souvenirs.
