The pale grey exterior of the monument contrasts with the multi-coloured murals and frescoes hanging inside the museum. Explore the museum's captivating exhibits, and witness the seamless blend of architectural grandeur and artistic expression on your Switzerland tours.
These paintings also include some of the most contemporary collections of art which made the name of the museum pop under the list of Swiss National Important Cultural Properties. Besides these paintings, you could also spot an array of collections from the 17th century along with many still portraits which seem to have bound the time within their frame.
