MAUSA - Musée Arts Urbains et du Street Art

Highlight • Monument

This wonderful museum is housed in part of the fortifications of Neuf-Brisach. The €10 entrance fee (as of 2023) is well worth it. If you're very lucky, you might even see one of the artists at work.

Neuf Brisach as a flower/stone mosaic

Highlight • Other

A very beautiful floor mosaic from Neuf-Brisach. I wonder if there will still be flowers on it in the summer 🤷‍♀️. Now in winter there were only stones. Beautifully done, well worth a look.

Our walk today wasn't particularly long, but the fortress and the museum are well worth seeing. We got the idea from @Matthias Brandt. Thank you Matthias for sharing!
The pictures are once again a wild mess 🤷🏼‍♂️!

August 6, 2023,Neuf-Brisach Graffitimuseum, auf den Spuren der Geschichte

A very nice place with very interesting sculptures. Definitely worth a visit. The graffiti museum is also worthwhile. Here, too, it rained at times on the way along the fortress and it was very windy from time to time. Nevertheless, it was a very nice trip.

Neuf-Brisach is an octagonal town built at the beginning of the 18th century with a parade ground in the town center. It represents the ideal form of fortress construction - extremely difficult to take over at the time.

The fortress is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site

Thank you Petra! 🙏

In the 80s I often went to Neuf-Brisach (drinking beer🍻), Vogelgrun (buying cigarettes 🚬) and Colmar (coffee time ☕). Since then it has been deserted land for me. (It's been a few days, right!) 🤦‍♂️

UNESCO World Heritage Site: the fortified town of Neuf-Brisach planned by the legendary Vauban 🤩

We were wonderfully surprised that the second ditch is used as an open-air museum; with beautiful and partly very large exhibits.

The city was built at the beginning of the 18th century by the fortress builder Prestre de Vauban as a planned city in the …

October 28, 2022,Auf den beeindruckenden Spuren des Street-Art DES MAUSA VAUBAN in Neuf-Brisach inklusive dem geschichtlichen Fort

Very impressive street art tour in the fortress walls of Neuf-Brisach, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many international street artists come every year to create, design or present their creative work, sometimes live, in front of the eyes of visitors/viewers/admirers. It has an atmosphere, a mood, or you find yourself in another world. If you look at it, …
