Eduard Spörri Museum

The Eduard Spörri Museum in Wettingen, Switzerland, presents contemporary art indoors and outdoors, building on the sculptural work of Swiss sculptor Eduard Spörri (1901–1995). Spörri left a broad oeuvre of sculptures, reliefs, paintings and drawings oriented toward French sculptors Auguste Rodin and Aristide Maillol. Around 100 of his artworks are visible in public space, mainly in the canton of Aargau. The museum also hosts changing temporary exhibitions and offers art education workshops for school classes, students and adults.

Families and Kids

The museum offers art education workshops for children and families, and the Ängeliweg family trail leads from Wettingen Monastery through the town past sculptures and playgrounds to the museum. The exhibitions are accessible with a stroller.
