Berry Museum

The Berry Museum in St. Moritz, Switzerland, is dedicated to the work of painter Peter Robert Berry II (1864–1942). Housed in the historic Villa Arona, it displays his oil paintings, pastels, and drawings created over forty years, alongside a culturally significant estate of books, letters, diaries, and documents on the founding and development of St. Moritz. The permanent exhibition traces Berry's engagement with Giovanni Giacometti and Giovanni Segantini and his divisionist depictions of the Engadin mountain world. The museum also presents changing temporary exhibitions and a collection of local history objects from St. Moritz.

Families and Kids

The Berry Museum aims to appeal to young visitors by introducing them to the beauty of the mountain world through the powerful colors and expressive motifs of Berry's paintings. The stories told by the pictures cover life around 1900, including muleteers, stagecoach drivers, and winter sporting events in St. Moritz. Children under 12 are admitted free of charge.
