Collection

Our collection presentation exhibits classical and contemporary works from the in-house collection of the Aargauer Kunsthaus. Curated and refreshed regularly, this exhibit offers access to a rotating selection of works.

With over 20,000 works, the Aargauer Kunsthaus owns the most comprehensive public collection of art from Switzerland from the 18th century to the present.

Post-war abstract art and the new artistic departure of the 1960s are likewise covered. Important acquisitions of works by contemporary artists such as Ugo Rondinone, Thomas Hirschhorn and Mai-Thu Perret continue this collection tradition. Themed presentations of works from the collection and regularly reconfigured exhibitions of the museum's holdings allow for stimulating dialogues and keep opening up new perspectives.
