Visible! Animals from the Art Depot

Description

Museum Luzern is showing for the first time a selection from the cantonal art collection, which it took over in September 2025. Under the title Visible! Animals from the Art Depot, works are presented at Haus Pfistergasse 25 that deal with animal motifs in a variety of ways. The presentation is in the spirit of the 2026 annual motto "Making Visible" and refers to the special exhibition Invisible? Animals in Hiding, which will be presented at Museum Luzern from June 12, 2026, to February 21, 2027. Many of the works shown were previously stored in the depot and thus not accessible to the public.

The works decorate the foyer wall in Haus Pfistergasse in a colorful salon hanging. Instead of a chronological or stylistic order, they are grouped thematically. It is precisely the variety of works that makes the appeal of the presentation: paintings, graphics, a glass mosaic, and even macramé meet in a lively mix.

Among others, works by Joseph von Moos, Irma Stadelmann, Hans-Rudolf Ambauen, Irma Ineichen, and Peter Ryser can be seen.
