Wettbewerb. Jetzt posten. Jetzt gewinnen. #IloveSwissMuseums

30 years art historian Pierre Rosenberg has collected Murano glass animals. Love the story that the collection started with a fish he got gifted in a Venetian restaurant. The glass orbs protect the pieces and make the exhibtion feel futuristic. Each is dedicated to one species.

Serendipity…

… is probably my favourite word. Not only for its meaning, but for the melody of it.

This trip to Bern had been scheduled for a while, but I had done little to no homework to organise it. I knew I had to be at the Kunsthaus at 10:45. Aside from that, I counted on ...providence and let the day unfold.

After admiring the Parliament, drifting through an open-air market blooming with geraniums, I walked towards a bridge. I noticed a huge building on the opposite bank, but resisted the temptation to let Google Maps decipher the city. I wanted the place to emerge before being coined. Destiny comes without road signs, tags or labels. I started crossing, simply to get a better view of the Bellevue Palace, the Casino, and the city’s skyline. At some point, it became ridiculous not to cross the river properly and see what was there.

The Kunsthallebern revealed its sentry box silhouette.

Serendipitously.

Names carry history, and this building has long had a place in my memory as the iconic venue where Harald Szeemann orchestrated some of his most significant artistic deployments. In my personal pantheon of curators, he easily makes the top ten. Five even.

Interestingly enough, the exhibition currently on view places humans as footnotes on the scale of the universe. The two show imagines a passage from the Anthropocene to the Dendrocene: from human domination to arboreal and natural centrality, from extraction and exploitation to rooted intelligence.

The works of Guatemalan artist calel_edgar and German-Iraqi artist Lin May Saeed critically examine the hierarchies between human and non-human creatures.

Go see for yourself…

So perhaps serendipity was not just my chosen method for encountering Bern. It was also the curatorial principle of the day: letting the city, the bridges, the ghosts, the river’s flow, and a walk on shuffle mode decide where I should be looking next.

Museums — and artists — do that superbly: they sabotage the map just enough for fortuitous encounters to happen.

Happy 30th Anniversary to the #swissmuseumspass ✨

This one pass made exploring so easy—I visited 5+ museums across Switzerland in a month🖼️🎨🧑‍🎨

Sometimes just a quick 10-minute stop,
sometimes staying longer than planned.

There are over 500 ...museums, castles & chocolate factories you can explore🎶
From classic art to modern design,
from history, nature to culture— there’s always something new to learn.

My favorite moments were the unexpected ones—
wondering into a place I hadn’t planned,
and finding a piece that made me stop and feel completely drawn in💓

Zeitlos schön sind diese filigranen Vögel aus Glas. Dass sie fast 2000 Jahre alt sind, erstaunt. Derartige Gefässe enthielten Kosmetika oder heilende Substanzen. Um an den Inhalt zu gelangen, musste man das Schwanzende abbrechen. Die Glasvögel auf dem Bild stammen aus römischen Gräbern im ...Kanton Tessin.
Dass auch in der römischen Schweiz solche und ähnliche dünnwandige, farbige Gläser hergestellt wurden, zeigen Produktionsabfälle beispielsweise aus Avenches VD.

Dieses und viele weitere wunderschöne Glasobjekte sind nur noch bis zum 17. Mai in der Sonderausstellung «Faszination Glas» zu sehen. Also nicht verpassen!

The last room I saw of the collection display at the Musée des Beaux Arts in La Chaux-de-Fonds featured one of the most important, or certainly the most showy, part of the collection, which was almost entirely furnished by works from the René and Madeleine Junod collection. The local couple ...managed to amass around 30 paintings between 1930 and 1950, almost all of which are by now very well-known artists. The collection was given into the museum in 1986, where it raised the profile of the museum’s collection overall. What struck me as interesting is how seeing the works assembled together in a room is how they are all very similar in size, which reveals their origin from a private collection. It really is an ensemble of artworks that, although very varied in terms of subject and style, achieves uniformity in the format and it is easy to imagine them in a domestic setting, furnishing the walls of a salon or a study in a town-house.
