Masterpieces from the Langmatt Museum
28.06 – 03.11.2024
In 2024, as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations, the Fondation de l’Hermitage will host an exceptional exhibition in partnership with the Museum Langmatt, Baden. This magnificent collection of primarily Impressionist works, most of which were acquired in the years 1908-1919 by collectors Jenny and Sidney brown, is coming to the Hermitage for its first public display outside its home at Villa Langmatt.
Forty years after the Fondation’s inaugural exhibition of works from French-speaking Switzerland, L’impressionnisme dans les collections romandes, we will have the privilege of displaying one of the most prestigious collections of Impressionism from the German-speaking cantons. This major event will also enable us to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Impressionism, which emerged in 1874 with the first collective exhibition by a group of young independent artists promoting a “new painting”.
