Kunstmuseum Thun
The Kunstmuseum Thun in the former Grand Hotel Thunerhof is located at the centre of town, directly on the river Aare. The building was constructed in the 1870s and was the first luxury hotel built in the town. It has housed the museum on the groundfloor of the right wing since 1949.

The project room enter is a special platform for innovative art. The small exhibitions held there offer scope for artistic experimentation and exciting insight into current research projects. The programme includes often collaborations with other institutions such as universities and social organisations.
