A fine arts museum where modern meets old.
Set in the small alpine city of Chur, Bündner Kunstmuseum is a gorgeous 20th century art museum that showcases works from old European maestros and local contemporary artists. This eclectic fusion of old and new is reflected even in the museum architecture – an incongruous amalgamation of a 19th century neoclassical villa and a classy cubical extension building. The museum itself hosts a vast collection of artworks ranging from the classical style of the 18th century to modernist movements like Expressionism.
Yet the highlight of Bündner Kunstmuseum would undeniably be its never-ending influx of temporary exhibitions, a shifting medley of colours and expression that tints the museum altered with a new atmosphere and experience. If you want to see the museum collection from an expert’s perspective, you can embark on a guided tour that brings a whole new depth to selected artworks. Grasp thought-provoking masterpieces in a different light, and set the cogs turning in your brain as you form your own interpretation. Take an enriching look at European culture and visit Bündner Kunstmuseum today.
