general information

The Kunstmuseum Thun presents mainly contemporary art in four to five alternating exhibitions every year. In addition to thematically and monographically focused exhibitions, a collection exhibition is organised every year, which presents a part of the rich pool of artworks under a particular perspective. Art education has a permanent place in the museum: a broad portfolio overarching generations supports in the decoding of the language of art and leaves room for own interpretations.

By order of the Swiss Federal Council, visits to the Kunstmuseum Thun are now only possible with a valid certificate (vaccinated, tested, recovered) and official identification. Adolescents up to 16 years of age are exempt.
