Special Exhibitions

The museum presents an extraordinary collection of chairs by Thierry Barbier-Mueller. The great American director and artist Robert Wilson was entrusted with the scenography, which plunges the public into immersive worlds where the chairs become the protagonists of a theatre performance.

Precious materials, sensual lines and glowing iridescence - the variety of designs of the artists from the Art Nouveau period was virtually limitless. They were not concerned with the overabundance of historicism, but rather a renunciation of its clutter. Something new had to be found! The solution: Around 1900 the artists applied the forms and colors of nature.

Admission to the special exhibition is free.
