❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are the opening hours and where is the Rosengart Collection located?

The museum is located at Pilatusstrasse 10, just 3 minutes from Lucerne train station. It is open every day of the year, generally from 10:00 to 18:00 (April-October) and from 11:00 to 17:00 (November-March); check the exact hours on its official website before you go.

How much is admission, and do they accept tourist passes?

General adult admission is around CHF 25, but entry is free if you have the Swiss Museum Pass or the Swiss Travel Pass. They also offer reduced rates for students and seniors with valid ID.

How much time is recommended for visiting the museum?

To truly enjoy the masterpieces without rushing, we recommend setting aside 90 minutes to 2 hours. This will allow you to appreciate the extensive Picasso collection and the more than 125 works by Paul Klee at a relaxed pace.

Why is this collection so famous, and what is its cultural importance?

Its importance lies in the fact that it was the private collection of Siegfried Rosengart, a close friend of Pablo Picasso. The museum houses a unique selection of classical Impressionism and Modernism, distinguished by the intimacy and quality of the works gathered by the family.

What is the best time of day or year to visit the museum მშვიდly?

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.

Is the building accessible for wheelchair users?

Yes, the Rosengart Collection is fully adapted and accessible for wheelchairs, with elevators providing access to all exhibition floors. The building, a former headquarters of the Swiss National Bank, has been modernized to ensure comfort for everyone.

What other tourist attractions are nearby to see afterward?

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.

What practical advice would you give to make the most of my visit?

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.
