Intro
The former Arthur and Hedy Hahnloser-Bühler Collection features masterpieces by Edouard Manet, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Odilon Redon, Henri Matisse, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Villa Flora, built in 1846 and renovated in the Art Nouveau style in 1908 by the architects Rittmeyer and Furrer, was the home of Hedy Hahnloser-Bühler (1873–1952) and Arthur Hahnloser (1870–1936). The couple, both avid collectors, developed an early passion for the art of their time: Between 1906 and 1936, Arthur and Hedy Hahnloser assembled a collection of works by Post-Impressionist artists, the Nabis group, and the Fauves, as well as works by contemporary Swiss artists such as Ferdinand Hodler and Giovanni Giacometti. They maintained close friendships with Félix Vallotton, Pierre Bonnard, and other artists of their time. Villa Flora became a gathering place for artists and art lovers. The former Arthur and Hedy Hahnloser-Bühler Collection, now housed in the Hahnloser/Jaeggli Foundation, brings together masterpieces by Édouard Manet, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Odilon Redon, Henri Matisse, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The collection, the house, and the garden together form a unique cultural asset of international significance.
