Souvenir Medal Monnaie de Paris 2023 - Centre Schweitzer (68)

The Albert Schweitzer Museum is an Alsatian museum located in Kaysersberg, the birthplace of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. It is dedicated to his humanitarian work in Lambaréné, Gabon, from 1913 to the present day. The house where Albert Schweitzer was born in 1875, a former Protestant rectory, serves as the starting point for the museum. In 1981, renovations connected this house to the neighboring building, creating contiguous exhibition rooms. The museum highlights Albert Schweitzer's humanitarian and medical commitment, providing visitors with insights into his life and his impact on the history of Alsace and Lambaréné. It serves as a place for preserving the memory of this great man and his dedication to disadvantaged populations.
