What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the Oskar Reinhart Collection Am Römerholz for its stunning art collection, featuring Old Masters and Impressionists in an elegant villa setting with beautiful gardens. However, some find the museum staff overly strict regarding visitor conduct and bag policies.
"The grandeur of Am Römerholz for me is founded in it's simplicity, volume and light!
Such a beautiful manor house with the garden mirroring the simplicity and volume. A private collection of Manet, Renoir, van Gogh, Picasso and Rembrandt . . Mind blowing!"

"Beautiful museum with many French painters. I’d say it’s one of the best art museums you can find in Switzerland. The setting of it is beautiful with a marvellous park, adjoining a forest. It’s when successful industrialists still offered something to the public.
The two stars missing is due to the painstakingly exact and exacting staff. You got corrected for every move in the museum: you have to carry the coat one way that is approved by the Swiss federation! And mind you that even the smallest bags must be put in a locker. In the future they’ll do body scans when you leave the building. Furthermore the staff is really only there to supervise, don’t ask anything - the barely know where the exit is. Overall bad. But the beauty of the museum compensated more than enough. And if it is sunny sit in the garden and have a snack or drink at the restaurant - you can find it on your own ;-)"

"A few of the masters - Van Gogh, Monet, Pissarro and Dutch 17th century pieces make this Kunst Museum worth visiting.
Galleries full of “installation art” remind one that traditional, complex 2D artworks, full of technique and skill are no longer being produced."
