The municipal theater of Colmar is located on Rue Kléber, just next to the famous Unterlinden Museum.
The elegant building with five bays on the ground and the upper floor was created by architect Louis-Michel Boltz; the interior design and the ceiling paintings are from the artist Boulangé. It opened in 1849 and was the first theater in Upper Alsace. The theater has been renovated several times, the last time was 1999/2000.
