14/04 - Paul Klee Zentrum, Bern




On the outskirt of Bern lies Piano's Paul Klee Zentrum. Completed in 2005, the museum/ cultural centre houses a great collection of Klee's works. Pleasant building, great exhibtion, only the admission is a bit pricey. We were delighted to see the exhibition In Search of the Orient - From Bellini to Klee, which presented a number of paintings and sculptures from Renaissance to Klee's era. Gentile Bellini's Sultan Mehmet II was presented as a pioneer to reflect the interest of Western artists towards the Orient.

A visit to the zentrum corresponded to our earlier visit to Baubaus in Dessau, where Klee was once a prominent professor.
