The Picasso Museum is housed in Am Rhyn House, one of Lucerne’s beautiful old buildings in the narrow Furrengasse. Built in 1618 by mayor Walter am Rhyn (1570-1635), it was restored in 1957. Angela Rosengart and her father Siegfried donated eight works, seven paintings and a sculpture, by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) to mark, Lucerne’s 800th anniversary and have added to these since. In addition to paintings, ceramics and metal sculptures, the museum displays some 200 photographs of Picasso, taken during the last seventeen years of his life by David Douglas Duncan, famous for his combat photography of World War II.
