Travelling through Switzerland to N Italy, we had a stop in Lugano. In Ticino, the city of Lugano surprised us with very nive museum exhibiting Expressionist art. Gabriele and Anna Braglia collected a series of expressionist paintings (Nolde, Kandinsky, Marc, Werefkin, and others) and we found joy in visiting 2018 Autumn exhibition of Braglia collection in collaboration with Henning collection. Very well composed, in high quality space. Take a look at the stairs, also.

In this recently opened Arts Centre you can see some very interesting exhibitions including art from private collections, the intimate side of big names such as Picasso and Giacometti and original work form artists like William Wegman and all with no crowds. On Sunday mornings you can sometimes enjoy to a free classical music concert given by students of the Lugano Conservatory in the main hall.

10. Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana - MASI Lugano
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 49 reviews
The Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI Lugano) is the product of the unification of the Museo Cantonale d’Arte and Museo d’Arte, both these public institutions have been active in the city of Lugano for many decades. The unification project between the two institutions was initiated in order to respond to the new development requirements of the museums which, since 2012, have been working under a common artistic direction. The creation of MASI offers benefits in terms of resource optimisation but will also add considerable strength to museum projects, allowing greater flexibility as regards both the programme and use of the available spaces.
