It is home to one of the most beautiful and comprehensive public collections of Swiss art from the 18th century to the present. Here, unlike anywhere else, Swiss art appears in all its great variety; among the highlights are the collections of works by Caspar Wolf, Johann Heinrich Füssli and Arnold Böcklin, as well as landscape painting from the 19th century. In addition, the collection offers a representative overview of the history of art in the 20th century, from the early modern period to the abstract art of the post-war years, and from the explosion of creativity in the 1960s up until the present.
