Visist
You can find out why Cuno Amiet was ahead of his time and much more in the course of a visit to his original studio, the heart of Amiet Kunstplatz Oschwand.
Today, it remains close to its original condition with a historical patina and original works, as it was when Cuno Amiet lived and worked there. An interactive multimedia exhibition reflects the spirit of the time and immerses visitors in the life and work of Cuno Amiet. The exhibits, most of which are being shown for the first time, document the diversity and different periods of his artistic work as well as his life in the form of photographs, written documents and personal items.
