Villa Flora, Art museum in Winterthur, Switzerland
Villa Flora is an art museum housed in a historic residence with multiple galleries displaying paintings by European artists from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The collection includes works by artists such as Pierre Bonnard, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Ferdinand Hodler, and Henri Matisse.
The building was constructed in the early 1900s as a private residence for collectors Herta and Arthur Hahnloser. It was later converted into a museum and joined a network of other art institutions in the city in 2018.
The museum displays works chosen and collected by Herta and Arthur Hahnloser over their lifetime. The rooms reveal personal taste and show how wealthy collectors of the time filled their homes with modern art.
The museum is located in a quiet residential area and is accessible by public transport. Visitors should check ahead for current opening hours and admission details, as the space periodically undergoes updates and maintenance.
The museum's garden features a sculpture called Pomona by French sculptor Aristide Maillol, installed around 1916. This outdoor artwork often goes unnoticed but creates a reflective space between the building and nature.
