About
editThe Villa Planta building was formerly a house owned by Jacques Ambrosius von Planta (1826–1901), built from 1874 to 1876 and designed by architect Johannes Ludwig.[2] Bündner Kunstmuseum was founded in 1919 in the Villa Planta by the Bündner Kunstverein (English: Graubünden Art Association).[3]
Around 1927, the natural history portion of the collection was moved next door in order to form the Natur- und Nationalpark-Museum (English: Nature and National Park Museum).[4] From 1987 to 1990, the Villa Planta was remodeled by local architect collective Peter Zumthor, Peter Calonder, and Hans-Jörg Ruch.[5][4] In 2016, the museum added a cube-shaped building extension with a gridded facade in cast concrete, designed by architects Barozzi Veiga.[3][6][7]
The museum art collection contains work by Graubünden-local artists, and includes Angelica Kauffmann,[8] Augusto Giacometti, Giovanni Segantini, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.[9] Since 1990, the Bündner Kunstmuseum has participated in the Manor Cultural Prize, which is awarded every two years for Swiss emerging artist representing the Canton of Graubünden.[citation needed]
