Sammlung Rosengart

Wonderful art museum! Great collection of pieces, provoded great amounts of information on the artwork displayed, and was a beautiful building as well. If you like Picasso, don't skip this place. Lots of artwork from other artists as well so if Picasso isn't your guy, I would still not skip this museum!

I had an incredible experience at this museum. To see so many great works of great artists such as Picasso, Renoir, and Matisse is an exhilarating journey for an art-lover such as myself. Nearly two hours have passed swiftly in that haven. Anyone in Luzerne must visit this place.

Lovely place with many of Picasso works. Had a place to put your bags and coats before enjoying the art pieces. I believe it was Martin who served us at the cashier. Apologies if I got his name wrong; this gentleman really helped us through and made the experience evermore enjoyable.

A nice museum with an interesting collection of Picasso. Worth a visit if you’re in Lucerne.

There are works of art especially Piccaso, Paul Klee. What I like the most is that it has a collection of works that can only be seen here.

Wow...I'm not a huge art museum enthusiasts (natural science is more my gig) but this place is awesome. Even someone like me will be awed by the number of pieces by Picasso, Matisse and other infamous artitsts. An amazing place to spend a rainy morning in Luzerne.

This small museum is filled with an amazing collection of Picassos - I don't recall ever seeing so many together and 125 works by Paul Klee, a room full of Chagall paintings and sketches that Chagall gave to Mr. Rosengart ( including the artists palette!), and many more modern artists such as Braque, Leger, Modigliani. It was such a treat and so interesting to know that this was one family's collection, now gifted to the city of Lucerne and all who visit there.

You get in for free with Swiss pass. They have 3 floors, Pablo picassso, one other artist, and one for mixed artists. They have a wide variety of paintings and in is fun to roam around there!

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.
