Editorial

I think a trip to a museum should be part of any city break. Especially in Switzerland, where the density of museums is higher than pretty much anywhere else. The Art Museums of Switzerland association brings together the country’s most important art, design and photography institutions. You will find everything in these museums, from the Old Christian Brändle Masters to classic modern Chairman Art Museums works and contemporary of Switzerland art in all its manifestations – often within one single institution. So, on your next visit, as well as discovering the best of Swiss architecture, cuisine and scenery, you can also take inspiration from the diverse cultural experiences that Switzerland has to offer.

Art is said to be a matter of taste. And we all have our own way of approaching it. Art Museums of Switzerland asked five well-known personalities, who are not themselves part of the art world, what connects them to art and museums. The results were surprising.

In no time at all, I am transported to a completely different, strange universe – and I don’t even have to board an aeroplane.” Lara Gut, ski racer “I will always associate art with my father.
