Zentrum Paul Klee (Paul Klee Center), Canton of Bern, Switzerland
4.0 (720 reviews) Monday: Spent Ranking #10 in Bern Mittelland District Speciality Museums • Art Museums
Superlative collections
To see the full great undulating design by Renzo Piano we alighted from the bus at the penultimate stop. Getting great vistas of the Centre in the lovely autumnal sunshine and of the snow capped mountains beyond. It was an unrivalled opportunity to see such an unparallel assembly of the famous Swiss artist’s oeuvre. Encompassing numerous art movements and endeavours in colours and patterns, his are singular and imaginative works. With titles such as Individualised Altimetry of Layers and Love Song at Blue Moon, there is also a playful element to Klee’s art. Never having seen any of the American artist Isamu Noguchi’s sculptural creations, a fine assemblage of multifaceted works were on show. A wide variety of forms, abstract and almost figurative, are here. Strange Bird (To the Sunflower), This Earth, This Passage and Lunar Landscape (Woman) are just some of the named.

Paul Klee,Joan MIro and Renzo Piano
From downtown Bern we took Bus No 12 to the Paul Klee center and enjoyed the excellent show of Joan Miro. All paintings from Barcelona. The curation was outstanding and we learned a lot about this artist. Not only was the approach to this place very easy ,but the 3 waves from Renco Piano are really worth seeing it . The other expedition about Paul Klee was also worth experiencing but we had time only to see the film about this Bauhaus master . We wiil repeat this visit So you have 3 hours to spare in Bern visit the Paul Klee Center

I think we will be back in the future
What a nice museum. When we visited there was a Bridget Riley exhibition in the basement, and a selection of Paul Klee’s works chosen by local school children. A super café in the building and a nice shop. My husband is a huge Paul Klee fan and has wanted to visit for years. He was not disappointed. There are several lifts for people who struggle with stairs, the loos are very clean, and to top it all, it’s super easy to visit by public transport straight from the main Bern railway station. On the map it looks miles out of town and when you get there it’s taken about 6 minutes! Beware: even very small rucksacks are banished to a (free) locker in the basement so make sure you have big pockets for passports and money. And Swiss German speakers are not as happy to launch into English or French as you might wish. * We did notice that some of the interpretation panels about Klee say rather different things in the different languages.
