Biodiversity. The animals of the city
From 19 Sept 2025 to 23 May 2027
Autour des animaux
Exposition temporaire
From September 19, 2025 to May 23, 2027: The newly renovated Zoological Museum devotes its first temporary exhibition, "BiodiverCité", to the animals of the city. Designed as a walk, rhythmic by the naturalistic illustrator Valentine Plessy's drawings, the exhibition questions the modalities of coexistence between human and non-human city dwellers at the time of environmental crises. Is the city an ecosystem like any other? While almost 80% of the French population today lives in urban units, they often remain in our imaginations of non-nature spaces. Yet animal species of all sizes and origins live alongside us on a daily basis. By looking at this nearby biodiversity, the exhibition reaffirms the need to think about the continuity of our relationships in life.

Become a doctor in Equatorial Africa
From 1 February to 31 December 2026

By immersing himself in African reality, Schweitzer does not simply apply European models. He invents a medicine adapted to his environment, based on listening, respect and understanding of others. At the heart of the journey, the Schweitzer hospital appears as a place of care and trust, embodying its ethic of "respect for life", its architectural choices and the involvement of local people. More than just a tribute, the exhibition offers a reflection on the meeting of cultures and the need to adapt knowledge to its context. Continue your visit "in the footsteps of the Nobel Peace Prize" and discover how Albert Schweitzer's work and thought still resonate today, as an invitation to act for a more just and humane world.

Electricity poster, 150 years of advertising creations
From 25 Jun 2026 to 30 May 2027
Exposition temporaire
The Electropolis Museum unveils its new temporary exhibition "Electricity s'affiche, 150 years of creations", an invitation to rediscover more than a century of graphic creations and advertising design dedicated to electricity, from the late 19th century to the present. As soon as it appeared on the energy market around 1880, electricity was accompanied by inventive and exciting advertising. The electricity companies, then EDF from 1946 onwards, called on numerous illustrators and posterists, including the prestigious names of Paul Colin, Bernard Villemot, Lefor Openo and Jean Effel. These images were intended to make visible an energy by nature invisible, valuing the uses, comfort and modernity that it promised. Exceptionally, the Electropolis Museum exhibits original posters, rarely presented for conservation reasons, as well as drawings, films, games, mascots and advertising items from its rich collections. The exhibition highlights the singularity of electrical advertising: far from promoting a brand or object, it tells an energy, a service and their place in everyday life. Organised according to a thematic approach (allegories, pedagogy, home, place of women, domestic uses, environment, regions), "electricity" reveals how these images are valuable markers of the evolution of society, its ways of life and its relation to energy. This exhibition is also part of the 80th anniversary celebrations of the EDF group, a major player in the French electric history and great patron of the museum, whose commitment allows today the conservation, study and transmission of an exceptional advertising and graphic fund.

Exhibition: Before horror, another Struthof
From 18 Sept 2026 to 27 Aug 2027
Exposition temporaire
Mémoire
This exhibition proposes to discover the history of the "Struthof" before the creation of the Natzweiler concentration camp. Long associated with the only memory of deportation, the site was previously a place of life, agricultural work, tourism and resort in the heart of the Vosges. Through unpublished archives, old photographs, postcards, films, objects and testimonies, the route traces the evolution of the site from the first farms from the 18th century to 1940. The visitor discovers the families who shaped these mountain landscapes, the development of farms and pastures, and then the rise of a tourist activity based on hiking, winter sports and the reception of holidaymakers. The exhibition also highlights the "Villa des Genêts d'or", the architectural transformations of the site and the profound economic and social changes that marked the Bruche valley. It finally shows how this place of leisure and relaxation was gradually caught up in the upheavals of European history before becoming, from 1941, a place of concentration terror. In revealing this unknown history, the exhibition invites us to look at the "Struthof" and understand the historical depth of a place whose memory far exceeds the camp period.

Exhibition "In the shadow of the annexed rooms. Cinema and propaganda in Alsace and Moselle (1940-1945) »
From 19 Sept 2026 to 4 Sept 2027
Exposition temporaire
Mémoire
A dive into Nazi cinema in Alsace-Moselle annexed (1940-1945), where the 7th art became a tool of propaganda and Germanization. The de facto annexations of Alsace and Moselle to the Third Reich in the summer of 1940 led to a shift in culture and a Germanization of these territories. Cinema, which was booming in the 1930s, did not escape its nationalization. A real political and economic weapon, it remains an art appreciated by the Alsatian and Mosellan public who frequent in number the rooms. This exhibition is translated into German and English. Free entrance. Free visit.

All Alsace loves music
From 1 October to 30 December 2026
Exposition temporaire
Alsace is always recognized as a land of music that continues to live at the rhythm of its ensembles today. This cultural exception is felt both in the professional sphere of so-called scholarly music but especially in the world of amateur music. There are no more choirs, harmonies, vocal ensembles and specialized instrumentals that make our territory rich and participate in the perpetuation of many traditions. This exhibition is both a tribute to this amateur musical world sometimes denigrated by questioning its origins and ambitions then. But it is above all an opportunity to highlight the great diversity and the ever-present dynamism of these practices inherited from the history of Alsace and resolutely oriented towards the future.

Exhibition "This is not a tile"
From 1 to 22 November 2026
Exposition temporaire
From November 1 to 22, 2026, discover the exhibition "This is not a tile"! Different Alsatian artists revisit the Biberschwanz, a traditional "beaver tail" tile and reveal their surprising creations... This exhibition is organised in partnership with the association "L-art beyond the eye", which aims to promote the accessibility of blind and visually impaired audiences to the emotions of the discovery of art, nature and culture, in their most immediate forms, such as those most elaborate: "These are works made from ancient Alsatian tiles by artists who support the Art Association beyond the eye. All these artists have been supporting the association for several years on a fairly simple principle: they are asked for a work on a theme (here that of tiles) where everyone can express their artistic vision from this object. The work can be abstract to free figurative to each to use his technique of choice. When a work is sold, each artist undertakes to pay 50% to the association. Here the tiles will be sold for 350 € piece. Each time it is a collective exhibition, presenting one to two works per artist always according to the same principle. As an artist, we have supported the association for over 30 years for some. A co-op system exists to involve new personalities." Photo credits : Louis Danicher

1521, the oldest written mention of the Christmas tree
From 21 November to 31 December 2026
Festivités de Noël
You will discover the famous book of accounts of 1521. Presented to the Humanist Library during the end-of-year festivities, this document mentions for the first time the tradition of the Christmas tree in Seletat. By opening this register of accounts of the City of Sélestat, whose archives are carefully preserved in the Municipal Archives, a handwritten mention is made, on page 239, of a tradition that is now affirmed far beyond the borders... "...as well as 4 schillings to the forest guards to monitor the but from St. Thomas." This is the oldest written record in the world to date referring to the Christmas Tree. Thanks to the work of historians passionate about their native Alsace, his interpretation is clear: if the city of Séletat must thus protect its forest by planning such an expense, it is to be assumed that decorating a tree (not a branch) at that time of year was relatively common and was part of customs. This is confirmed in later writings dated 1546, 1555 and 1557, equally carefully preserved in the City's archives. This mention is naturally associated with the history of Meisenthal's glass Christmas balls, born in 1858 to replace apples on the tree, after a year of drought.

Contemporary Talents 14th edition – Traversées
From 16 January to 2 May 2027
Exposition temporaire
On the occasion of the 14th edition of the Talents Contemporains competition, the exhibition Traversées brings together the seven award-winning artists who make water the theatre of travel, resistance and memory. The journey opens with listening to the work Elegías has a paisaje d'Enrique Ramírez, whose sound sculpture reactivates pre-Columbian knowledge to give voice to water and air. The material then finds a mineral breath at Ladislas Combeuil, whose 45 canvases of My small windows let the painting create itself silent horizons. Immersion continues with Eléonore Geissler's oldest film, a hybrid installation that transforms an aquarium and its prehistoric coelacanth into a true optical theatre. The look slides towards the waters of the Caspian Sea with Raw Reverie of Mehrali, which sets the force of the waves to the cyanotype to revive memories of childhood. Then, the vibrant canvas Geju Neefare – Plastic Sea of Alioune Diagne gives the route a geopolitical reach, denouncing the plastic pollution and forced exile of Senegalese fishing communities. Julie Bourges then proposes The strong waters, a visual tale of seven photographs where the daily life of a sea-fishing woman becomes a quest for emancipation from the sea. Finally, Paul Heintz closes the route with Nafura, an urban and night crossing in Saudi Arabia where three women travel Jeddah by car to offer a break in freedom against social norms.
