The Collection

The Kunstmuseum houses the Galerie (Gallery) and the Kupferstichkabinett (Department of Prints and Drawings).

The inventory of the Galerie includes paintings, sculptures, installations, videos and photographs.

The inventory of the Kupferstichkabinett features drawings, watercolours and prints.

The collection of the Öffentliche Kunstsammlung has been enriched by important gifts and is complemented by numerous works deposited with the museum, thanks in part to long-standing partnerships with the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation, and such institutions as the Im Obersteg Foundation, the Rudolf Staechelin Collection, the Dr. h.c. Emile Dreyfus Foundation, the Alberto Giacometti Foundation, the Gottfried Keller Foundation, the Prof. J.J. Bachofen-Burckhardt-Foundation and others.
