Zentrum Paul Klee

I'm a fan of Klee's work and in so far as I have a 'bucket list' this was on it. I wasn't disappointed. The gallery shows a rotating selection of Klee's work, so what I saw won't necessarily be what you see, but I found the walk through his life, the description of his thoughts on what painting is, the use of colour and form, highly informative. In addition there are guest exhibitions. The Zentrum itself is a wonderful building, modern and light, with a good café.

Very pretty area and building design by R.Piano is really magnificent. The exhibitions were quite interesting, however I wish the had more of Klee's work.

Fascinating look into the variety of styles developed by Klee. Only a small portion of the museum‘s collection is displayed at one time, so changes are frequent.

We visited the Paul Klee Museum on the recommendation of a friend. Although I enjoyed the experience overall, and the architecture of the museum is truly stunning, I was a bit disappointed by how few of Klee’s actual works were on display during our visit. The layout and building itself are worth seeing, but I didn’t feel it was great value for money at 15 francs per ticket. If you’re a big fan of modern architecture or Klee’s work, it may still be worth a visit—just check what’s currently on exhibition first.

Beautiful architecture. Loved the exhibits. Well done. There is a small gift shop and a cafe. Great hands on art atelier also available

Wonderful architecture, great exhibition space and current exhibition was really good and this was the perfect space. I thought there would be more Paul Klee works, but it was interesting to find out about his early life and his painting philosophy

Super small collection of Paul Klee paintings - in the basement! Best part is the building itself. Go there, have a look at the architecture and use the CHF 20 for a nice coffee break somewhere else!

A beautiful construction by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. Currently an interesting exhibition of the early paintings and drawings of Le Corbusier in addition to the works of Paul Klee for which this museum was built.

Definitely worth going. The grounds and the building itself are quite beautiful. We had less than two hours, I think 2-3 hours would have been more than enough time. The Paul Klee collection is inspiring. We also saw the collection of Brazilian art, which was encouragingly diverse across many dimensions. The gift shop had several things I would've loved to buy if I'd had room in my bag.

This is wonderful architectural landmark on a picturesque hillside in Bern with a rotating colllection of art by Paul Klee and his contemporaries. When I purchased my ticket the staff explained that the collection is constantly rotating so I may not be able to see my favorite works by Paul Klee, but I definitely discovered new artwork by him and also other artists in circle. There was an incredible collection of drawings by Paul Klee and an audio visual display. They do have guided tours and they even have one in English. There are free documetary films playing, usually on either Klee or one of his contemporaries. The museum is beautifully situated and you can take some wonderful photographs of the surrounding mountains and also see a great view of Bern. I walked to the museum and it's a bit of a hike uphill but it's so pretty because you pass by various rivers and residential area. I learned a lot about Klee's life, his contemporaries and also his struggles during the 1930s. Definitely a must see if you want to visit the best museum in Bern. My only gripe is that if you don't read German It is difficult to decipher all the information on the walls but you can rent an audio guide and listen to it in English and other languages. I wish that there had been free information on the walls regarding the artwork in French or Italian (2 other official Swiss languages) because I do speak those languages. There's a wonderful children's center in the museum which looks really fun. Also some colorful seating areas and a very good café.

This is a great museum...if you like Paul Klee. Well, even if you don't, you should just go. The museum and the space itself is beautiful. Klee is a Swiss-born artist and this museum pays homage to his life's work. They also feature other artists in a rotating exhibit. You are allowed to take photographs in the museum which is nice and they have a super awesome children's center with easels and fun activities for the little ones, so if you have small children they would LOVE it here. Many of Klee's work resonates with children's artwork, with the forms, colors, shapes and lines he used. We also really enjoyed the gift shop, and they had reasonably priced knick-knacks and fun stuff (reasonably priced for a museum and Switzerland :) ) We also dined in at the museum snack bar area, the food was just o.k., and not a huge selection so if you're super hungry afterwards grabbing a coffee and a treat (nuss gipfeli anyone?) I might recommend that over getting your full lunch here. They carry the Chaya iced teas here which are super delicious but prety expensive...5 CFH. All in all though, this is a great museum to come to if you are in the Bern area. Expect to spend between 1-2 hours for your visit.

The Paul Klee Zentrum in Berne, Switzerland is one of leading art museums in the world. The combination of Paul Klee´s paintings - the largest collection in the world with nearly 40% of his oeuvre - in this very special building from Renzo Piano is a must. If you in Berne, please do not forget a visit in Kunstmuseum Bern = Art Museum Berne. Enjoy both! Best regards, LAMOW | Leading Art Museums of the World
