Oskar Reinhart Collection «Am Römerholz»

The Oskar Reinhart Collection «Am Römerholz» in Winterthur, Switzerland, is housed in the former villa of collector Oskar Reinhart (1885–1965) and displays over two hundred works of European art of the highest rank.

The museum also hosts changing temporary exhibitions and a varied program of guided tours and workshops.
