The second-largest art museum in the canton of Vaud, the Musée Jenisch Vevey houses an extraordinary collection of works on paper, in particular the Cabinet cantonal des estampes, which contains more than 40,000 works from the Renaissance to the present day, making it one of the five most prestigious collections of prints in Switzerland. It also houses the world's largest collection of graphic works by Oskar Kokoschka, as well as a collection of over 11,000 drawings by the greatest artists in the history of art.
Open to all, the Musée Jenisch Vevey is an art museum - drawing, printmaking, painting - on a human scale, preserving and promoting six centuries of creativity and inviting visitors to participate in enriching experiences.
Created and run today by women, it boasts a rich permanent collection (Bocion, Courbet, Corot, Hodler, Vallotton, Picasso, Morandi, etc.), a special place dedicated to engraved art - the Pavillon de l'estampe, an evocation of Kokoschka's studio, exhibitions that can't be seen anywhere else, and innovative outreach initiatives.
It's a dynamic, inclusive museum that has the art of taking visitors on an authentic, lively encounter with the works of art. A special place for pleasure, emotion, knowledge and inspiration.
