Kirchner Museum Davos

The Kirchner Museum Davos in Davos, Switzerland, is dedicated to the life and work of German Expressionist artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880–1938), who lived in Davos from 1928 until his death. The museum presents works from its collection in changing exhibitions and also showcases modernist and contemporary artists to highlight Kirchner's relevance today. Its collection spans all of Kirchner's creative periods from 1904 to 1938, including paintings, drawings, prints, sketchbooks, photographs and textiles, alongside works by other Brücke artists and exponents of Classical Modernism. The museum also functions as a research institution with an archive and a specialist library on Kirchner and Expressionism.
