Photo Museum Winterthur
The Swiss Mecca of photography casts a spell over more than just die-hard fans with its images that range from art to documentation of the everyday. The Fotomuseum Winterthur provides a fascinating setting for contemporary and classic photography.
Whether it’s fashion, architecture, industry, crafts, working life, or leisure, looking through the lens opens the door to other worlds. Thanks to the diverse exhibitions at the Fotomuseum Winterthur, these worlds are not reserved solely for photographers. Through works by 19th- and 20th-century artists, your mind will wander back in time, while the works of contemporary masters are firmly rooted in the past. Since fall 2003, the Fotomuseum Winterthur has been collaborating with the Swiss Photography Foundation, thereby forming a center of excellence for photography with an outstanding international reputation. The museum features a bistro, a library, seminar rooms, a lounge, and a shop. Every year, the Fotomuseum Winterthur presents new selections from its extensive collection in six major exhibitions. The collection consists of works by countless renowned artists such as Nan Goldin, Fischli/Weiss, Robert Frank, and many more.
