Founded by a group of amateurs in 1953, the Jurassic Museum of Arts in Moutier has, since 1955, presented exhibitions of contemporary and modern art. Its collection, which now contains more than 3,000 works from over 600 artists, focuses on artists from the Jura canton, but includes the work of other Swiss and international artists. There is no permanent exhibition, but five themed displays from the collection each year. With 416 m² of exhibition area, the museum is housed in a 1903 villa built by the architectural firm Charles Kleiber with a 1996 wing by Bakker and Blanc.
