Kunstmuseum St. Gallen
The Kunstmuseum St.Gallen enjoys an international reputation with its attractive temporary exhibitions of contemporary and modern art.
As a treasure trove of Eastern Switzerland, the museum houses a rich collection of paintings and sculptures from the late Middle Ages to the present day, which are displayed in a permanent exhibition. The building, erected in 1877 by Johann Christoph Kunkler in neoclassical style, invites visitors to stroll through art from the past and present.
Old and new in dialogue enable a varied cultural experience, where international temporary exhibitions can be experienced, or masterpieces of the past meet outstanding representatives of contemporary art!
Thanks to comprehensive art mediation, the Kunstmuseum St.Gallen is an attractive place for encountering art from yesterday and today! The art zone in the Lokremise, the museum's second 'venue', serves as a cultural laboratory for contemporary art.
Its close proximity to cinema and dance/theatre opens up fascinating thematic synergies, and the raw character of the interior allows for process-oriented exhibitions and 'Artist-in-Residence' projects.
