Intro
The Olten Art Museum has its origins in a collection of works by the Olten-born political draughtsman and caricaturist Martin Disteli (1802-1844).
The Olten Art Museum originates from a collection of works by the Olten-born political draughtsman and caricaturist Martin Disteli (1802-1844). It was opened in 1905 and today houses an important collection of modern and contemporary Swiss art. In addition to works by regional artists, it includes top-class works by representatives of the avant-gardes of the 19th and 20th centuries as well as selected contemporary positions. On the edge of Olten's picturesque old town, the art, nature and history museum and the Kunstverein exhibition space form a lively cultural center. The museum rooms in the former residential and commercial building have an unmistakable charm. The art museum presents special exhibitions on two floors: Thematic group shows alternate with retrospectives and solo exhibitions. The Disteli Cabinet and a selection of works from the collection are on permanent display in varying combinations.
