Oskar-Reinhart Foundation Museum, Winterthur

A few of the masters - Van Gogh, Monet, Pissarro and Dutch 17th century pieces make this Kunst Museum worth visiting. Galleries full of “installation art” remind one that traditional, complex 2D artworks, full of technique and skill are no longer being produced.

Beautiful museum with many French painters. I’d say it’s one of the best art museums you can find in Switzerland. The setting of it is beautiful with a marvellous park, adjoining a forest. It’s when successful industrialists still offered something to the public. The two stars missing is due to the painstakingly exact and exacting staff. You got corrected for every move in the museum: you have to carry the coat one way that is approved by the Swiss federation! And mind you that even the smallest bags must be put in a locker. In the future they’ll do body scans when you leave the building. Furthermore the staff is really only there to supervise, don’t ask anything - the barely know where the exit is. Overall bad. But the beauty of the museum compensated more than enough. And if it is sunny sit in the garden and have a snack or drink at the restaurant - you can find it on your own ;-)

An exceptional private collection, which reflects Oskar Reinhart‘s focused passion for bringing a few selected masterpieces of different eras and genres, but similar vision, together. Spacious, spare and well lit, with a wonderful café for reflection after the visit.

One of my favorites. The building, the art, the cafe, the nearby walks.. Just perfect

Amazing place, bigger than it looks, a fantastic art collection with a great cafe and nice gardens. Small selection of walks nearby.
