Kunstmuseum Solothurn, Art museum in Solothurn, Switzerland.
Kunstmuseum Solothurn is an art museum in the Swiss city of Solothurn displaying works from the late Middle Ages to contemporary installations. The collection spans paintings, sculptures, and prints distributed across multiple floors.
The museum was founded in 1902 and originally displayed both artworks and natural history objects. In 1980 it was transformed into a dedicated art institution with its current focus.
The collection bears the name of a local art patron and displays works that document the artistic evolution of the region across centuries. Visitors can observe how artistic movements from late Gothic to modernism are reflected in the exhibition spaces.
The museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 17:00. Free admission allows visitors to move through the galleries at their own pace.
The Madonna of the Strawberries from 1425 is one of the oldest and most valuable paintings in the collection and shows the fine craftsmanship of that era. This work is often the first piece visitors are drawn to, as it embodies the quality of the entire collection.
