The museum houses the private collection of works by Swiss sculptor Mario Bernasconi (1899-1963) and his wife, painter Irma Bernasconi Pannes (1902-1971). Bernasconi, born in Pazzallo, trained in Lugano at the school of Luigi Vassalli and then by Giuseppe Foglia. After a period of work in inland Switzerland and some study trips to Italy, especially Tuscany, he moved to Germany, later returning to Ticino.
