Segantini Museum St. Moritz

1 August 2021

The appreciation for Giovanni Segantini’s (1858-1899) art found expression in the Museum in St. Moritz.

The architect Nicolaus Hartmann (1880-1956) based his design on the monumental pavilion that Segantini had created to house his Engadina panorama of large-scale paintings at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900. The building, with its massive domes, resembles a mausoleum.

To mark the centenary of Segantini’s death in 1899, the museum underwent a complete renovation and expansion. The most recent renovation and expansion took place in 2019.
