About this audio guide
This guide to the Musee Bartholdi in Colmar follows the sculptor back to his own birthplace, in the year his home region stopped being French. You'll hear about an early loss, his National Guard command defending Colmar in eighteen seventy, and the burst of patriotic sculpture that followed, including the Lion of Belfort and an early study for the Statue of Liberty. Listen for the models on the upper floor, right where a stone lion still snarls.
