With approximately 350,000 items covering more than five centuries of printmaking history, the Cabinet d'arts graphiques is one of the largest French-speaking cabinets and also one of the most important Swiss collections. Its collections include remarkable old stocks, but also extraordinary prints from the 19th century and, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, a major collection of artists' books and a large collection of multiple works. Among the exceptional holdings, the museum includes the world's largest collection of works by Jean-Étienne Liotard and drawings by Ferdinand Hodler, as well as a reference collection of prints by Félix Vallotton, John M Armleder and Georg Baselitz. The Venetian print of the 18th century as well as the Russian and Hungarian avant-gardes are also remarkably represented.
