Kunsthaus Zug

Kunsthaus Zug is an art museum housed in a protected historic building from the 16th century located at the edge of Zug's old town. The institution presents contemporary artworks alongside its permanent collections in restored rooms that retain their historical character.

The building, known as Hof im Dorf, dates to the 16th century and was later converted into a museum space. The museum itself was established in 1990 as a project of the Zug Art Society, which had existed since 1957.

The museum houses a major collection of Viennese Modernist works, including paintings by Klimt and Schiele that form a central part of its identity. These artworks shape the character of the institution and draw visitors interested in this period.

The museum is easily reached on foot, situated quietly at the edge of the old town and accessible from the pedestrian zone. The rooms are arranged in a straightforward way, making it simple to explore the exhibitions without difficulty.

Since 2002 the museum has operated a mobile exhibition project in which artworks travel in a specialized container throughout Switzerland and beyond. This program brings its collections to audiences outside the museum building.
