Franz Gertsch Museum, Art museum in Burgdorf, Switzerland
The Franz Gertsch Museum displays large format paintings and woodcuts across five exhibition rooms within two concrete cubes arranged at right angles around a garden.
Industrialist Willy Michel established the museum in 2002 through his foundation, creating a dedicated space for the complete works of Swiss artist Franz Gertsch.
The museum presents temporary exhibitions focusing on contemporary Swiss and international art, with emphasis on figurative painting, graphic arts, and drawing techniques.
The museum provides guided tours, art workshops for up to 22 participants, and special rates for school groups at 100 CHF for artwork discussions.
The building architecture results from direct collaboration between Swiss architects Hansueli Jörg and Martin Sturm with artist Franz Gertsch, featuring pure white interior walls.
