La Congiunta

La Congiunta is a museum and gallery in Giornico, Switzerland, housed in a windowless concrete building designed by architect Peter Märkli to display the sculptures of Hans Josephsohn. The long, narrow, three-part building features no artificial light, relying instead on a clerestory, and presents Josephsohn's reliefs and half-figures across three rooms. The museum is located in the Leventina valley near the early Romanesque church of San Nicola.
