Author, journalist, photographer and traveller: Annemarie Schwarzenbach is one of the most colourful figures in Swiss modern cultural history. For the first time in Switzerland an exhibition is being dedicated exclusively to her photographic work, comprising around 4,000 pictures taken on her extensive trips through Europe, Asia, Africa and America. The dialogue that unfolds between Schwarzenbach’s texts and photographs opens our eyes to the upheavals and conflicts of the 1930s. At the same time, Schwarzenbach’s documentary viewpoint explores themes in a poetic and astonishingly contemporary way.

In 2021 the exhibition will be shown in a modified form with new loans on display.
