Museum of Chiusa/Klausen

The art collection of the Museum of Chiusa/Klausen is located in the former Capuchin monastery, which was endowed by Queen Maria Anna of Spain (1667-1740). It includes the unique Treasure of Loreto with its precious single pieces of art from all over Europe. The Klausner Art Colony (1874-1914) is another key aspect of our permanent exhibition. Hosting five special exhibitions per year, the museum gallery offers a varied range of artwork.

Frag 1

Florian Tschurtschenthaler, a wood sculptor from Sesto, arrives in Klausen bearing a gift. In front of the Town Museum, he carves a dove of peace – over the course of five days, in full view of everyone. Entitled For Peace, the work echoes the central theme of his main installation in the Capuchin Garden: the question of how peace between people can be achieved. At the end of the project, Florian hands the dove over to the town of Chiusa – as a gesture of gratitude and a lasting symbol of love, gratitude, forgiveness, and acceptance.
