Kunstmuseum Bern - Zentrum Paul Klee
Exhibition: Life in Full. Old Masters from Duccio to Liotard (13.2.–27.9.2026)
Dear media representatives,
One of the treasures of the Kunstmuseum Bern is the significant holding of works of early art. From 13 February to 27 September 2026, the museum is putting this part of its collection at the centre with the exhibition Life in Full. Old Masters from Duccio to Liotard. Alongside masters from the early modern period, the exhibition features works of Florentine and Sienese painting from the Trecento and Quattrocento as well as masterpieces of the Baroque. A fascinating exhibition that reflects the full range of life: martyrdom meets grandstanding, asceticism encounters opulence, virtue confronts lust.
We cordially invite you to the media preview with curator Anne-Christine Strobel on Wednesday, 11 February 2026 at 10:00 at the Kunstmuseum Bern. Please register via press@kunstmuseumbern.ch.
Please find the media release as well as the press images in the press section on our website.
Warm regards,
Martina Witschi
