Stiftung Sammlung E.G. Bührle

Collection of the Emil Bührle Foundation

Permanent exhibition
This collection is not very well known, but it is one of the best collections of European art. Mostly works by French masters of the 19th and 20th centuries are presented, such as Renoir, Toulouse-Latrec, Van Gogh and Gauguin. This museum is a must-visit for those who love painting.

Over the many years of his life, collector Emil Bührle collected a large, expensive collection of masterpieces by the best artists. How he got them is unknown to history. In wartime, the collector collaborated with the border guards and generals of Germany, so there is a version that it was they who ordered him the rarest paintings from destroyed museums and private collections. Emil died in 1956, but his will did not make clear arrangements for the exhibits. Relatives moved all the paintings and sculptures to a separate villa, and soon even decided to create a foundation.

Unfortunately, after a robbery in 2008, when 4 valuable paintings were stolen from the collection, visiting the collection is only possible with a tour to certain days, by prior arrangement with the administration.

    Museum of North American Culture

    Permanent exhibition
    Indigenous cultures North America as diverse as food and forms of expression between Scandinavia and Sicily. How did the population of the Arctic icy desert survive? Why did the inhabitants of the northwest coast live in relative prosperity, while hunters from the subarctic had to travel great distances to provide for their poor life? What prompted the prairie Indians to band together to hunt buffalo?
