Centre PasquArt, Art museum in new city north, Bienne, Switzerland
Centre PasquArt is an art museum in Bienne that brings together exhibitions of modern work with spaces for film screenings and photography presentations. The complex comprises several connected buildings with distinct exhibition galleries, a dedicated photography forum, and a cinema space.
The museum was established in 1990 within a former hospital building dating from the 1800s and grew through strategic additions over the following decades. Architectural redesign by established firms helped expand its role and capacity to serve the region.
The place serves as a hub for contemporary art and experimental practice in the region. People gather here to explore how artists approach current questions and push creative boundaries.
The venue is open at different times on weekdays and weekends, with extended hours on specific days of the week for special programs. It is best to confirm opening times in advance, as schedules can vary depending on exhibitions and seasonal changes.
A notable feature is the architectural blend where well-known Basel architects designed the modern extension, transforming the historic shell into a contemporary venue. Walking through the complex reveals how the old and new sections connect and complement each other in unexpected ways.
