Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI Lugano)

MASI Lugano, the Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana, boasts a wide-ranging programme of exhibitions that span the history of art, from the great masters of the twentieth century to the contemporary period. Drawing on extensive research, the museum gives a platform to lesser-known artists hailing from north and south of the Alps and hosts important retrospectives dedicated to leading figures in art history. The exhibition programme embraces different artistic genres and media, from painting to sculpture to video art. In recent years it has paid special attention to photography, both historical and contemporary.
