Zentrum Paul Klee
Three wave-shaped buildings designed by Renzo Piano, holding around 4,000 works by Paul Klee. It is the largest Klee collection in the world.
Paul Klee grew up in Bern and spent his final years there. The Zentrum Paul Klee opened in 2005, and its galleries rotate displays of his oil paintings, watercolours and drawings. There is also a children’s creative workshop, a concert hall and an outdoor sculpture trail. The building resembles three rolling hills set into the fields, and the architecture itself is worth seeing. Admission is around 20 francs, and it is closed on Mondays. From the railway station, take bus line 12 to the terminus, about 15 minutes.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00
