The Museum Langmatt is unique in the Swiss museum landscape. The Art Nouveau villa of the industrialist couple Sidney and Jenny Brown-Sulzer is home to an exquisite collection of French Impressionist art. It was assembled at the beginning of the 20th century. The unmistakable charm of the villa lies in the presentation of outstanding pictures from art history in historic living rooms.

The Brown family lived in the Baden villa for two generations. Its last resident, Dr. John A. Brown, died in 1987. In accordance with his wishes, the city of Baden established the «Langmatt Sidney and Jenny Brown Foundation» as universal heir and opened the house to the public in 1990 as an Impressionist and residential museum. Today, the mansion, which has been preserved in its original state, is a listed building.

The Langmatt's collection of paintings comprises an impressive Impressionist collection. Starting with Corot and Boudin, the collection ranges from Degas, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley to Cézanne and Gauguin. There are also individual works by Courbet, Fantin-Latour, Redon, Bonnard and the American Mary Cassatt, who worked in France. In the carefully renovated and restored rooms, the paintings make the Langmatt shine in new splendor. French furniture from the 18th century, clocks, chandeliers, carpets, porcelain, silver and Chinese ceramics create a lively atmosphere in the villa. A Steinway grand piano in the library is a reminder that many musicians used to come and go here – a tradition that continues to this day with musical events.

Since its opening in 1990, the house has been run as an open venue for cultural activities. This includes a wide range of multilingual guided tours, art education workshops, events, special exhibitions and publications. The exhibitions usually tie in with the museum's art collection, focus on individual works or groups of works and make references to works by contemporary artists. In addition to the exhibitions, the museum presents a varied, imaginative program of events in the park and building, offering a low-threshold range of activities for all ages.

Picnic in the park of the Museum Langmatt: The traditional picnic basket, filled with delicacies, is available to order in advance as a culinary addition to the enjoyment of art.
