Paul Klee Center

Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern

As an interdisciplinary cultural center, the Zentrum Paul Klee combines the visual arts with music, literature and agriculture.

Unique cultural center
The Zentrum Paul Klee offers new access to one of the most important artists of modernism and is a meeting place for young and old. The wave-shaped building by Renzo Piano blends into the landscape like a sculpture in the urban panorama.

The Zentrum Paul Klee is the competence center for the research, mediation and presentation of Paul Klee. Part of the world's most comprehensive collection of Klee's works can be seen in the permanent exhibition Kosmos Klee. The Collection. For conservation reasons, the works have to be replaced regularly. This means that a new insight into the work of Paul Klee can be seen time and again. Based on Klee's pictorial thinking and his multifaceted oeuvre, we open our eyes to far-reaching themes. In the other impressive exhibition room, up to three exhibitions on important artists are shown each year. Our art educators regularly offer guided tours in four languages and an interdisciplinary, inclusive accompanying program to give all visitors access to the art on display.

Music, literature and event location
The cultural offerings of the multi-disciplinary venue are just as diverse as Paul Klee's work, with master concerts and readings by authors from German-speaking countries. The Zentrum Paul Klee is also one of Switzerland's most renowned event and conference venues. In the Creaviva studios, everyone can playfully try their hand at form and color and then satisfy their hunger with regional delicacies in the museum café or in the Schöngrün restaurant. The Fruchtland and the community garden around the building also offer instructive insights into the museum's own fauna and flora and a walking trail with spectacular views.
