Mostly about museums, mainly in Switzerland
In September I spent two weeks on holiday in the South of France. It is easy to see why so many artists were drawn here. The smell of the sun on the pine needles, the scent of the flowers, the stunning landscapes, the food and the wine…
The Swiss National Museum in Zurich is one of my favourite museums in Switzerland.
There are over 500 castles to explore in Switzerland. Over the coming months I’ll be sharing some of my favourites. To mark Swiss Castle Day I’m starting with Château de Chillon.
This powerful and thought-provoking exhibition at the Fotomuseum in Winterthur runs until 30 August 2020. It shows the work of eight photojournalists and documentary photographers.
What words would you use to describe the 1920s? Vibrant, fun, exciting, fast paced, innovative, changing…. All of these and more describe both the decade and the latest exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zurich, which opened at the beginning of July 2020.
The building itself is impressive, newly built, it opened in October 2019. It is located in a new art district, Plateforme 10, next to the main train station in Lausanne.
Two very different exhibitions are closing at the end of July. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to see them. One is in Basel and the other in Pully near Lausanne.
Large, monumental sculptures set amongst thousands of Irises, blooming in every colour imaginable, my idea of heaven! I hadn’t heard about the Château de Vullierens until a friend posted some pictures …
I was looking forward to visiting the Hopper exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel. It was my first museum visit, post Corona lockdown, and I was happy to hear that the exhibition had been extended until 26 July.
