Closed, but not quite

Art & Culinary Delights

When the Kunstmuseum Luzern closes its doors, an experience for a select few begins. To mark selected new exhibitions, we invite you to a special evening where art, space and cuisine come together in a subtle dialogue.

After the museum has officially closed, you will explore the exhibition on a private guided tour – in a calm, personal and unhurried atmosphere. Upon request, this can be arranged exclusively for your group.

The evening concludes with a four-course menu at Restaurant Lucide, inspired by the exhibition and accompanied by an aperitif, water and coffee.

An evening beyond the ordinary – for everyone who wishes not only to view art, but to experience it with all their senses.

Public events

Maria Pinińska-Bereś

Maria Pinińska-Bereś (1931–1999) is regarded in Switzerland as a new discovery; in her native country, Poland, she has long since been famous as a pioneer. The Kunstmuseum Luzern is devoting a comprehensive retrospective exhibition to this feminist artist.

An Interplay with Li Tavor

Shirana Shahbazi

Shahbazi experiments with surfaces, formats, colours, space and light, and so far has not shown many of her works. In dialogue with Li Tavor (*1983), and complemented by works from others, the artist creates expansive installations.

In 2019 Shahbazi was awarded the Prix Meret Oppenheim, the most important art prize in Switzerland presented by the Bundesamt für Kultur.
