Sammlung Rosengart (Rosengart Collection)

Unclaimed

This small museum is filled with an amazing collection of Picassos - I don't recall ever seeing so many together and 125 works by Paul Klee, a room full of Chagall paintings and sketches that Chagall gave to Mr. Rosengart ( including the artists palette!), and many more modern artists such as Braque, Leger, Modigliani. It was such a treat and so interesting to know that this was one family's collection, now gifted to the city of Lucerne and all who visit there.

You get in for free with Swiss pass. They have 3 floors, Pablo picassso, one other artist, and one for mixed artists. They have a wide variety of paintings and in is fun to roam around there!

Wonderful art museum! Great collection of pieces, provoded great amounts of information on the artwork displayed, and was a beautiful building as well. If you like Picasso, don't skip this place. Lots of artwork from other artists as well so if Picasso isn't your guy, I would still not skip this museum!

What a gem! I am so very happy to have stayed in a hotel nearby and was able to visit this museum, I loved every inch of it! I try to visit museums in places that I travel to, whenever possible, and in reading about this museum, I learned that they have many pieces by Picasso, which I was very interested in seeing, in addition to other artists. There are also many candid photographs of Picasso, which were very interesting to see, in addition to a historic meeting room with movie you can watch to learn about this history behind the museum. I explored from top floor (3), to basement, taking in each artist's work. I spent about 3+ hours there. There is an elevator if needed. I spent about $30 CAD for the entrance fee. Lucia at the entrance desk was wonderful to chat with, she was extremely helpful and assisted me with some purchases of prints and a tube to keep them safe in. Thank you for making my visit even more enjoyable! I highly recommend the visit, and it's in a great neighborhood to shop and dine too.

Serendipity is the word I would like to use when I discovered the Rosengarte Collection in Lucerne on my journey down through to Sicily in May 2023. I discovered Piscasso for the first time and a number of other marvellous French impressionist artists. The collection is housed in a former bank building in Lucerne. It is amazing and normally undiscovered by most tourists visiting Lucerne.
