Emma Kunz Centre

The Emma Kunz Centre in Würenlos (Switzerland) is a museum and meeting place in the Roman quarry dedicated to the life and work of the artist, researcher and healer Emma Kunz (1892–1963). The museum, inaugurated in 1991, shows a permanent exhibition of around 40 large-format, strictly geometric drawings on graph paper. The centrepiece of the facility is the rock grotto where Emma Kunz discovered the healing stone AION A in 1942. The centre also offers guided tours and an audio guide.
