How to reach the City museum

The art collection of the Museum of Chiusa/Klausen is located in the former Capuchin monastery. The entire first floor of the museum is dedicated to the famous Treasure of Loreto that forms the most important part of the museum. The Treasure of Loreto goes back to an endowment around 1700 by Queen Maria Anna of Spain (1667-1740) in response to a request by her confessor, Father Gabriel Pontifeser. At his request, the Queen had the Capuchin monastery built in Chiusa/Klausen and stocked with valuable gifts. Its name “Treasure of Loreto” owes the
collection to the circumstance that it was originally kept in the Loreto Chapel. The Treasure’s paraments (altar cloths), religious objects, paintings and other pieces of art mostly come from the workshops of Spanish and Italian artists of the 16th and 17th century.

Another key aspect of our permanent exhibition is the Klausner Art Colony (1874-1914). Chiusa/Klausen rose to become the city of artists in the late 70s of the 19th century due to an incisive event in literature and history. This was the time when Chiusa/Klausen flourished as a meeting point for artists. From 1874 to 1914 over 300 painters and sculptors stayed in Chiusa/Klausen.

The museum gallery offers a varied range of artwork, hosting five special exhibitions per year and the tour through the museum also includes a visit to the baroque Capuchin church .

Opening hours:
30. March – 2. November 2019:
Tuesday – Saturday, 9:30 am – 12 am, 3:30 pm – 6 pm
