La Congiunta, Art museum in Giornico, Switzerland
La Congiunta is an art museum in Giornico housed in a concrete building organized lengthwise with three connected exhibition spaces. The interior is naturally lit through roof openings and follows a minimalist design approach.
The building was designed and constructed between 1989 and 1992 by architects Peter Märkli and Stefan Bellwalder. It was created specifically to house and display the collection of a well-known artist's work.
The museum displays the work of artist Hans Josephsohn across different periods of his career. The sculptures and reliefs fill the rooms and encourage visitors to spend time looking at each piece.
The museum is only accessible with a key that must be collected from the nearby Restaurant Giornico before your visit. It is important to check opening times and key availability in advance.
The walls are built from raw concrete, providing a quiet backdrop for the collection. The material and natural light together create a distinctive setting for viewing the sculptures.
