The Hans Erni Museum is situated on the grounds of the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne. Art and mobility make for an unusual combination, but the link is clear: in both cases, the objective is to communicate and to encounter.
It is no coincidence that the Hans Erni Museum should be located between the Aviation and Space Travel Hall and the Navigation, Cableways and Tourism Hall. Indeed, the achievements of technology and civilisation are subjects to which Hans Erni has returned time and again.
The Hans Erni Museum – standing out in the complex with its transparent hexagonal form (architect: Jean-Marie Ellenberger) – not only makes the œuvre of this doyen of Swiss art permanently accessible to the general public, it also creates a forum for encounter. The auditorium has become a popular conference venue, watched over by great thinkers old and new – from Thales to Albert Einstein – depicted in Erni's impressive two-part mural.
