Kunstmuseum Bern
The Kunstmuseum Bern is the oldest art museum in Switzerland with a permanent collection that spans nine centuries and includes many masterpieces by nationally and internationally renowned artists. The museum enjoys international fame, thanks to works by Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Ferdinand Hodler, and Meret Oppenheim.
The city of Bern founded a national art collection in 1809 and completed construction of the first museum in 1879. Classic and contemporary works are displayed alongside leading artists from Switzerland and Bern over 3500 square meters of exhibition space. Credit Suisse has been a partner of the Kunstmuseum Bern since 1996 and is main sponsor of one exhibition each year.
