Intro
As the cantonal museum, the Nidwalden Museum has a collection of objects and works of art that document the canton's artistic and cultural history.
As a cantonal museum, the Nidwalden Museum has a collection of objects and works of art that document the art and cultural history of the canton. Like many regional museums, it was founded on the initiative of the local historical society. Early on, however, contemporary works of art from the canton were also included in the collection. Today, the Nidwalden Museum consists of three buildings, the salt magazine and the Winkelriedhaus with pavilion in Stans and the Fürigen Fortress in Stansstad. The Winkelriedhaus is now used as an art museum. A new permanent exhibition will open in the old patrician house in summer 2014, introducing visitors to the art history of the region with works from the collection. Every year, the pavilion in the garden shows three temporary exhibitions featuring artists who have a connection to Nidwalden or are otherwise of interest to the region.
