Opened in 1908, the Segantini Museum was built by architect Nicolaus Hartmann as a memorial, a kind of walk-in monument to the great painter Giovanni Segantini (1858-1899). The building with its mighty dome is a museum rotunda based on the pavilion that Giovanni Segantini had planned for his Engadine panorama at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900. The collection comprises around 55 paintings, drawings and sculptures by Giovanni Segantini: oil paintings, pencil, pastel and charcoal drawings from his time in Italy, Savognin and Maloja. The focus of the exhibition is the large Alpine triptych "Becoming", "Being", "Passing". The works of the Otto Fischbacher Giovanni Segantini Foundation have also been on display since 2001.
