Kunsthaus Glarus, Art museum in Glarus, Switzerland.

Kunsthaus Glarus is an art museum in Glarus, housed in a building designed by architect Hans Leuzinger and opened in 1952. Its collection comprises paintings and sculptures by Swiss artists of the late 19th and 20th centuries, including the Othmar Huber, Gustav Schneeli and Gustav Egger collections. The lower floor originally held exhibition rooms for the canton's natural history collection.

The museum was founded to bring cultural exhibitions to the smaller town of Glarus, which previously depended on larger art centers. This initiative allowed the region to see contemporary artistic works regularly and participate in national artistic discussions.

The museum displays works that reflect the artistic life of the region and create meetings between local and visiting artists. The exhibitions show how Swiss artistic practice has developed over time.

The Kunsthaus Glarus stands in the Volksgarten, directly beside Glarus railway station, so it is reached on foot from the platforms. The Schneeli collection occupies part of the building, while the lower floor was planned for the canton's natural history collection. The entrance is at street level in the Volksgarten; visitors arriving by train cross the station forecourt.

The museum invites artists to realize contemporary projects in its spaces, turning the exhibition site into a place of living artistic production. This collaboration with artists like John Miller shows that the venue does not just preserve a collection but actively participates in the creation of new works.
