Step into Lucerne’s Rosengart Collection, where art and history collide in a former Swiss National Bank building . Known for its treasure trove of Impressionist and Modernist masterpieces, this museum holds a unique secret: five Pablo Picasso paintings of the same woman—Angela Rosengart, the museum’s own founder!
The portraits, created during Picasso’s prolific career, capture Rosengart’s evolution from collaborator to muse. Now in her 90s, she still lights up recalling their 1920s-era sessions, describing the artist’s process as ‘a dance of brushes and bold ideas.’ Talk about #ThrowbackThursday vibes!
Pro tip: The neoclassical venue itself is a star. Built in 1924, it once safeguarded money
—now it guards Picasso’s legacy. For art lovers and history buffs, this Swiss gem is a must-visit. Who knew banking halls could hold so much creativity?
