Intro
Just 15 minutes by train from Lausanne, the second-largest art museum in the canton of Vaud, the Jenisch Vevey Museum, presents a varied programme of temporary exhibitions and a permanent collection of paintings – with works by Bocion, Courbet, Corot, Hodler, Vallotton, Picasso and Morandi – in a neoclassical setting.
The museum also houses an extraordinary collection of works on paper, in particular the Cabinet cantonal des estampes (the cantonal prints collection), which brings together 35,000 works dating from the Renaissance to the present day – including works by Dürer, Rembrandt, Tiepolo, Goya, Bonnard, Degas, Warhol, etc. It is one of the five most prestigious print collections in Switzerland. The museum also houses the world’s largest collection of graphic works by the Viennese expressionist artist Oskar Kokoschka as well as a collection of more than 10,000 drawings.
Inaugurated in 1897, the museum takes its name from the donor who enabled its creation, Fanny Jenisch. In a subtle dialogue between ancient and contemporary art, this institution’s vocation today is the promotion of works on paper.
