"Give me a museum and I'll fill it." -Pablo Picasso…read more It took a bit to find the galleries that I wanted but once there, wow. This is the art I love to see - impressionists galore! On a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet without schoolkids or large groups. There was nothing distracting me from enjoying the art. The exhibit of existentialist Bernard Buffet works was magnificent with a number of his pieces. Andy Warhol considered Buffet the "last great artist of Paris." Beyond that, Cy Twombly, Edgar Degas. Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh (I've never seen "Marguerite Gachet at the Piano" before and the "Self-Portrait with a Japanese Print" was amazing) , Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse (paintings *and* sculpture!), Alexej Von Jawlensky's "Self-portrait") and more. What museum would be complete without works by Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder and Salvador Dali? So much to see, so much to enjoy, so much to appreciate. It is one of the greatest art museums in Switzerland and I had a tremendous visit. Gift shop has lots to purchase but the prices for even the smallest prints are very high. I didn't even get a postcard today. [Review 21230 overall - 78 in Switzerland - 195 of 2024.]

This is a small and cozy museum really close to the Luzern Bahnhof. Although the collection is…read morepretty limited in size, I didn't encounter any crowds despite there being a ton of people in Luzern this warm Sunday afternoon. You can enjoy your art in peace and they even have an audio guide included in the price of your admission that the friendly receptionists will offer you after you've paid your ticket.

No bags allowed inside, but they provide free lockers, so lock your valuables and leave your stroller outside. There are a mix of old European arts and modern arts, a small drawing station for the kids you can post on the wall afterwards. There was a room with a single, double, and triple swing! The little kid in me had so much fun playing on the swing. Most importantly, this is one of the few places in Switzerland that actually has AC!!! So if the heat wave hits, and you need to cool off, come here! Took one star from them because there was a military related tent displaying old documentary, except the display has fresh red paint that's not dry. While I really didn't read the wet paint sign, I don't think you should put it on display until it's dry. It was a piece of cloth that can be moved after it's dried...

There was an impressive collection of varying artists from around the world (even including Van Gogh, Klimt, and many others). It is a wonderful location with a small cafe to spend some time for just a suggested donation at the patron's discretion.

It takes quite awhile to go through all the galleries to see everything, especially if you read everything on the walls, too! It was really breathtaking to walk into a gallery and see the large Monet painting "The Water Lily Pond" hanging on a full wall; such a beautiful surprise. His "Water Lilies" was also in the same gallery. Definitely worth the visit and there's a discount offered (50%) when you present your BaselCard, which is a tourist card you can get for free from your hotel. 13.50 CHF (Swiss francs) at the time I went (November, 2023).

It's difficult for visitors to enjoy the history in such conditions. Regardless, it is a fascinating preservation of the tiny second-floor apartment Albert Einstein and his long-suffering wife Mileva shared with their infant son for four months in 1905. It was during this brief timespan that the famed scientist developed his most famous equation E = mc^2 that had profound effects on nuclear physics. The museum is a rare Swiss facility that actually provides information in English, which was greatly appreciated by all guests. Above the Einstein's preserved apartment on the second floor, the third floor which was originally unrelated to their history was added to the museum to provide information about the scientist's life without interfering with the layout of their former living space. That is a wide decision.
