Musée Jenisch
Musée Jenisch Vevey
Vevey’s municipal art museum, holding Swiss modern paintings and an important collection of works by Oskar Kokoschka and prints.
The Musée Jenisch was built in 1897 with a donation from the widow of the Jenisch family of Hamburg. Its neoclassical building lies near Vevey station. The museum focuses on 19th- and 20th-century Swiss painting, including works by Hodler, Vallotton and others. The Oskar Kokoschka Foundation holds a large number of his oil paintings and drawings here, as the painter spent his later years in nearby Villeneuve. The print room houses works by masters such as Rembrandt and Dürer. Admission is about CHF 15–20, and the museum is open Tuesday to Sunday. It is a moderately sized museum, well suited to a rainy day.
