Gallery sights in Lucerne

  1. A

    Sammlung Rosengart

    Lucerne’s blockbuster cultural attraction is the Sammlung Rosengart, occupying a graceful neoclassical pile. It showcases the outstanding stash of Angela Rosengart, a Swiss art dealer and close friend of Picasso. Alongside works by the great Spanish master are paintings and sketches by Cézanne, Klee, Kandinsky, Miró, Matisse and Monet. Standouts include Joan Miró’s electric-blue Dancer II (1925) and Paul Klee’s childlike X-chen (1938).

    Bourbaki Panorama

    History buffs might enjoy the Bourbaki Panorama. This painstakingly detailed depiction of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71, with a moving narrative (also in English), brings to life the 1100-sq-metre circular painting of miserable-looking troops and civilians.
