The Hansi museum is a magnificent building that was designed to look like an Alsatian town, taken directly from one of Hansi's well-known works. Hansi was a French artist with Alsatian ancestry who was also an activist in support of France. He became well-known for his charming paintings, some of which portrayed criticism of the Germans living in that era.
