To avoid the crowds, the best time to visit is right at opening in the morning or after 15:00. Weekdays are usually much quieter than weekends, especially outside the peak summer season.

Given its central location, you are less than a 5-minute walk from the iconic Chapel Bridge and Lake Lucerne. You can also visit the impressive Culture and Convention Centre (KKL), which is right next door.
You must leave large bags and backpacks in the lockers, which require a deposit coin, so bring some loose cash. We strongly suggest using a good audio guide to understand the story behind the friendship between the collector and the artists.
