Kunstmuseum Solothurn
About This Museum
Tucked away in Switzerland's finest Baroque city, the Kunstmuseum Solothurn feels like a wonderful secret. Its story began with the legacy of local artist Martin Disteli in the early 20th century, and it has since blossomed into a captivating journey through Swiss art. You'll wander from the dramatic Alpine landscapes of Caspar Wolf to the bold colors of Ferdinand Hodler and the playful modernism of Max Bill. The atmosphere is quietly contemplative, a perfect space to lose yourself for an afternoon.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss Hodler's powerful 'Lake Geneva with Snow-Covered Mountains' shimmering in its symbolic glory, or the intricate drawings by Swiss Renaissance artist Urs Graf. The museum also holds a surprising collection of international graphic art, including works by Dürer and Rembrandt.
