Musée du sapeur-pompier d'Alsace, Firefighting museum in Vieux-Ferrette, France.
The museum spans two buildings with a total area of 2,300 square meters, displaying an extensive collection of firefighting equipment from 1648 to 1969.
Originally housed in the Mulhouse Railway Museum from 1978 to 2003, the collection received national recognition as a Museum of France before relocating to Vieux-Ferrette in 2014.
The museum preserves French firefighting heritage through exhibits of hand pumps, steam pumps, vehicles, ladders, and nineteenth-century fire uniforms from multiple countries.
Located at 12-14 rue de Luppach, the museum charges 8 euros for adults, 4 euros for children between 11 and 16, and offers free entry for children under 4.
The facility features a complete reconstruction of the telephone exchange from the former Mulhouse fire station, demonstrating early emergency communication systems.

France hosts monuments that go beyond common tourist routes. Individual creations like Ferdinand Cheval's Palais Idéal in Hauterives, built stone by stone over 33 years, sit alongside architectural reconversions like the Molitor Pool in Paris or the Contemporary Art Museum set in a 17th-century manor in Saint-Romain-au-Mont-d'Or. These sites reflect unique stories and urban transformations worth exploring. This selection includes themed museums dedicated to magic in Blois, mechanical instruments at La Borde, fairground arts in Paris, and firefighters in Montville. It also features total art works like the Maison Picassiette in Chartres, entirely decorated with ceramic mosaics, and the Robert Tatin Museum in Cossé-le-Vivien. From Montmartre cemetery where Degas and Zola are buried to works by self-taught artists, these monuments offer different perspectives on French heritage and deserve a visit to explore lesser-known facets of the territory.
