Since 1990, countless French Impressionist paintings have been accessible to the public in the former residence of Sidney Brown and his wife Jenny, née Sulzer. Thanks to the endowment by John A. Brown, the last descendent of the couple, Villa Langmatt, a stately industrialist villa in Baden, could be transformed into an Impressionist and Stately Home Museum.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown were among the first collectors in Switzerland who preferred modern French paintings. Since even the original furnishings and decor of the Brown's have been largely preserved, the Langmatt Museum bears witness to the lifestyle of a cultured industrialist family in the first part of the 20th century.
