The collection of Swiss painting ranges from the landscapes of Koller and Zünd and the fantasy worlds of Böcklin and Welti through the Jugendstil of Augusto Giacometti and Vallotton to the Realism and avant-garde art of the 20th century and the very latest trends in our own time. Especially noteworthy are the groups of works by Ferdinand Hodler and Giovanni Segantini.

With the most important museum collection of works by Alberto Giacometti, the Kunsthaus is also the best place to study the sculptures and paintings of this seminal artist: dozens are on permanent display.
