CHF18 admission is a bit steep for this three floor museum, but it's a nice collection of works. The lower floor is Klee focused. The other two floors have a lot of Picasso works, as well as the works of some other artists, including Matisse, Cezanne, Chagall and others. There was also a section on Picasso by a photojournalist friend... More

Wonderful art museum speciallizing in Picasso and Klee and interesting history for the museum itself. Even if you don't love art, this is worthwhile. Just an amazing collection by two famous artists who had a special relationship with the Rosengarts. Will take only an hour or two but a great diversion from wandering the streets.

nice, simply laid out museum with a large collection of Picasso art and an informative video and photographs of his life. Not overwhelming...nice to take in a small exhibit in a lovely setting.

The Rosengart is housed in a beautiful building, less than ten minutes walk from the main Luzern station. Easy to find and surrounded by cafes and restaurants if you want to fuel up first! Admission for adults is 18 chf with concessions available. Lovely warm welcome in English. Lockers available to store bags and coats free of charge. Divided over... More

If you like Picasso, if you like art, great museum to visit. Only 5 min walk from the main train station in Lucerne. Some of his earlier and later works. If have Swiss Pass, its free. http://www.rosengart.ch/welcome.php5

Mrs. R, of course, is Mrs. Rosengart herself. Also known as Picasso's muse. As I was browsing his portraits of her, I turned to see an impeccably dressed older woman browsing the guestbook. Mrs. R. Swiss celebrity. I went up and said, in my horrible attempt at German, thank you and then, in my borderline Valley Girl English, thanked her... More

I enjoyed this private collection-my tip is to spend 30 mins watching the video in the comfort of a nice sitting room to gain a great appreciation of the collection.

Right opposite the Hotel Flora. Good array of artists represented including Modigliani. Great exhibits, but quite expensive if you only want a short visit.

The museum offers an incredible collection that includes a vast number of Picassos, Klees, a few Chagalls, and Renoirs. Entrance is 18 chf and I recommend starting upstairs by watching the DVD about the collections inception. It is very enlightening and lays a good foundation for the rest of your wanderings about the museum.
