Museum collection Am Römerholz
Museum collection Am Römerholz, Art museum in Winterthur, Switzerland.
Description
The museum is a collection of over 200 European paintings housed in a private villa and adjacent gallery building in Winterthur's Lind district. The rooms display works from the 14th century through the early 20th century arranged in carefully considered presentations.
History
Oskar Reinhart acquired the villa in 1924 and built a gallery wing in 1925 to house his European art collection. The collection opened to the public in 1958 and is now recognized as a protected cultural property of national significance.
Culture
The collection presents European paintings within a private residence, merging the artistic significance of the works with the intimate setting of a home environment. Visitors experience these artworks in a more personal setting than a traditional museum building would offer.
Practical
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, with extended hours until 20:00 on Wednesdays. Evening visits on Wednesday offer free entry, providing flexibility for different schedules.
Did you know?
The villa itself dates to 1915 and was originally a residence before being transformed into an art gallery. This blend of residential architecture and art collection creates something distinct about the experience of viewing the paintings.
