Kunstmuseum St. Gallen
A neoclassical art museum in the city park, with a collection spanning the 19th century to the present, and can be visited together with the neighboring Historical and Ethnographic Museum.
The art museum is located in the Stadtpark, and its neoclassical building, completed in 1877, sits next to the Historical and Ethnographic Museum, forming a small museum quarter. The collection focuses on 19th- and 20th-century Swiss and German paintings, including Impressionist works by Monet and Degas, as well as contemporary installation art, and it often hosts major modern and contemporary exhibitions. It is usually closed on Mondays and open from Tuesday to Sunday, about 10:00–17:00, with some evening extensions. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Abbey Quarter, and art lovers can plan 1–1.5 hours here.
