The Rosengart Collection (property of a foundation established by Angela Rosengart in 1992) has been accessible to the public in its entirety – f0r the first time ever – since March 2002. The collection, which comprises some 220 works and focuses primarily on French painting from 1870 to the 20th century, is presented over an exhibition area of some 1250 square metres.
The exhibits are arranged around three main themes. The ground floor is home to the Pablo Picasso collection, with a special focus on the artist’s later work; the lower ground floor accommodates the Paul Klee collection; and the first floor is devoted to important works by more than 20 further artists from the Impressionist and Classic Modernist movements. *

It is wonderful to see that true art is still being shown in public galleries rather than being in the possession of a private collector Cherie…
this seems to be a wonderful place to spend a few days….peter:0
It was a very interesting art collection with an interesting history to go with it.
really like the nice, clean lines formed by the building. quite solid looking too
The inside of the building was rather nice too.
I can imagine it’s an art-lover’s paradise, Cherry.
Yes it is
Did you have a favourite painting, Cherie?
I can’t recall any one standing out above the others.
Is this better than the Wallace Collection?
I preferred the Wallace collection, there were so many different things to see there.
Ha! It’s like a mini Versailles in London
