Public guided tour "From here. Anniversary Exhibition"

The anniversary exhibition "From Here" focuses on the collection of the Bündner Kunstmuseum, shows specific peculiarities and develops perspectives for the future.
In 1900, the Bündner Kunstverein began to build up an art collection. The collection now comprises around 8000 works from all areas of the visual arts from the 18th century to the present day and reflects the media diversity of artistic creation. Since its foundation, it has developed from the specific cultural situation of Graubünden: this includes the imprint of the mountain landscape as well as the interplay of emigration and tourism. Artists come and go, carry the special into the world and bring the world to Graubünden. The history of art in Graubünden is characterised by various formative figures and movements that have led to special focal points in the collection. The aim is to keep the historically grown collection independent and unmistakable. To this end, the existing focal points are to be maintained and expanded and new accents are to be set.
The anniversary exhibition "From here" extends over the entire museum with both houses (Villa Planta and the extension). The focus is on the highlights of the collection as well as the new acquisitions of recent years, which have expanded the collection's profile. A special focus of the exhibition is the perspective into the future: "From here" does not only mean anchoring on site, but also wants to show in which direction the museum collection can be expanded. To this end, loans are specifically requested and works are commissioned.
