Sammlung Rosengart

Cool private museum showcasing many artists with a focus on Pablo Picasso. Incredibly well curated experience with tons of information about each specific display room. I had never viewed many Picasso pieces, but this was an extensive collection. I especially appreciated the photos depicting his life. It really added to the quality of the exhibition. We really enjoyed our visit, and I would recommend to any traveler.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Rosengart Collection. The museum is beautifully organized and easy to explore, with an incredible selection of works by Picasso, Klee, and many other modern artists. The atmosphere is calm, inspiring, and perfect for taking your time with each piece. The staff were friendly and the overall experience felt thoughtful and well-curated. A must-see in Lucerne for anyone who loves art! Only maybe an audio guide missing so you can get deep into the art pieces :)

One of the world's greatest private art collections. I was blown away! Largest Picasso collection in the world. Well over 100, and hundreds of other amazing pieces. Cezanne, Renoir, Monet, Seurat. Spectacular amd well worth your time and money.

What a great art museum. It’s a ten minute walk from the train station. Small lockers at no cost to store a backpack. She let me leave my larger carry-on in a corner of the lobby where she could keep an eye on it. The standard admission is 18 Swiss Francs.

What a gem! I am so very happy to have stayed in a hotel nearby and was able to visit this museum, I loved every inch of it! I try to visit museums in places that I travel to, whenever possible, and in reading about this museum, I learned that they have many pieces by Picasso, which I was very interested in seeing, in addition to other artists. There are also many candid photographs of Picasso, which were very interesting to see, in addition to a historic meeting room with movie you can watch to learn about this history behind the museum. I explored from top floor (3), to basement, taking in each artist's work. I spent about 3+ hours there. There is an elevator if needed. I spent about $30 CAD for the entrance fee. Lucia at the entrance desk was wonderful to chat with, she was extremely helpful and assisted me with some purchases of prints and a tube to keep them safe in. Thank you for making my visit even more enjoyable! I highly recommend the visit, and it's in a great neighborhood to shop and dine too.

An astonishing and magnificent collection of 20th century art amassed by art dealer Siegfried Rosengart and his daughter. They eventually made their own collection a gift to the city of Lucerne. Housed in a 1930s bank building, the collection is one of the finest private collections on display anywhere in Europe. Picasso and Klee are prominently featured, along with works of many other great 20th-century artists, including Chagall, Kandinsky and more. Art lovers, if you are in Lucerne, do not miss this collection.

A worthy collection and a very interesting history of the creation of the museum. In the museum you can watch a documentary about it. The ticket costs 20 francs. Unfortunately, there is no audio guide. There is a map with a QR code, but the text is written in very small print, it is inconvenient to read from a phone.

Fantastic exhibition. If you like modern art, and of course Picasso, it is definitely worth a visit.

We had a wonderful time walking through this charming museum. It's a perfect space to look at art. We saw Picassos that I have never seen before, plus so many contemporaries of his. I highly recommend taking the time to go see this museum.

This museum showcases the works of Picasso, Klee, and the likes. Although I never really appreciated their art up until now, it really piqued my interest in them. The museum is also not too crowded despite visiting on a crowded Sunday in Luzerne. This is how I see my ideal art museum: a quiet and spacious place away from the crowds where I can savor art in peace and this museum did just that.

We had a great time perusing the incredible variety of art here. It was so peaceful and quiet. We could take our time and really enjoy the Picassos, Matisse and more.

I love this museum. It's not cheap- I think I paid 18 Swiss Francs (students are 10, and there's a discount for senior citizens) but it's fabulous. I'm not a fan of Picasso- but this place was empty, and 5 of his major huge oil paintings hang in one room- so I just sat there (comfy benches) and looked at them- giving them a chance. I still don't like Picasso (except for some of his early drawings- like the woman with a veil) but I feel I really had a chance here to appreciate him- quietly, and for a long time. And what I DID love, was the Klee collection. I love Klee- and they have exquisite works, and lots of them. I spent a lot of time with the Klees. The colors just glow in some of these works- and you can appreciate them up close and personal, and often alone. I sat and just soaked them in. You will also find impressionists, and Miro, and other delights- it's a gem. Do not miss this if you love art. You will enjoy it. There is not much of a gift shop, but it's the works that count. And the works here are important, beautifully curated, and lovingly cared for. It's a very "spare" museum- the works are all that is important here. I'm not sure how children would react (mine would not have liked it). It's a niche museum, but for people who like this niche, I doubt they will be disappointed. It's also located very close to the Banhoff- and there's a delightful restaurant (Brasserie Flora) just a few doors away- as you walk towards the lake.

It is a must see museum in Luzern. The museum is full of Picasso, Klee, Kandinsky. I was really impressed. The surprise was to see Angela Rosengart at the reception. It was such a nice feeling to have photograph with her. She was a friend of Picasso and she comprise an important place in Picasso's life. Here is some information from the website of the museum... Angela Rosengart established the Rosengart Foundation in 1992. She was born in Lucerne in 1932 and still resides in the city of her birth. She has been active in the art dealing world since 1948: initially as an employee in her father Siegfried`s business, then as co-owner and joint managing director together with her father from 1957 onwards. Her father died in 1985, since when she has managed the business alone. In her professional career, she has concentrated on the "Classic Modernists". Indeed, she was a personal friend of a number of these artists, first and formost with Pablo Picasso. Picasso, for his part, painted Angela`s portrait no fewer than five times. These five portraits are shown permanently in the Rosengart Collection. In 1978, Siegfried and Angela Rosengart donated eight works by Picasso - seven paintings and a sculpture - to the City of Lucerne to mark the 800th anniversary of the city`s foundation. The "Rosengart Donation" became the Picasso-Museum in the city`s historic AmRhyn House. Since 2008 the exhibits of the Picasso Museum (late works by the artist and photos by David Douglas Duncan) have been assimilated into the Rosengart Collection at Pilatusstrasse 10. And in all of the late Picasso works (32 paintings, some 100 drawings, watercolours and graphic and sculptural works) presented in the Rosengart Collection, the visitor is confronted time and again with the sheer variety of ideas and inspirations in the artist`s creative world, together with spectacular photos by Picasso`s friend David Douglas Duncan.
