The best museums St. Moritz

Set in the very beautiful villa of the artist, the museum presents paintings, sketches, studies of this painter with naive style, which was also writer (1891-1978).

Opened in 1908 and designed by the architect Nicolaus Hartmann, the museum is dedicated to the Alpine landscape painter Giovanni Segantini. The Italian painter, who came from the Symbolist movement of the late 19th century, spent the last five years of his life in St. Moritz. This building, which was erected only nine years after his death, is a kind of memorial. His most famous work, the triptych Werden, Sein, Vergehen (Becoming, Being, Disappearing), a masterpiece of dazzlingly realistic light and colour, is on display here.
