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.

Stones of Hope
21.06.2026
15.00
Fragener Platz

For the summer solstice, Lukas Mayr invites everyone to take part in a shared ritual centered around his work Philosopher’s Stone. The longest day of the year has long been seen as a moment of energetic strength – a time when community becomes tangible and a wave of hope can be set in motion. With a brush, anyone may leave something on the stone: a message, an image, a thought. Afterwards, each participant receives a small pebble to take with them. What it symbolises, the artist reveals on site.

Apostelkirche/Chiesa degli Apostoli
Oberstadt, beim Brixner Tor/Città Alta, presso la Porta di Bressanone

Christian Gufler invites visitors directly into his installation. Inside the Church of the Apostles, the human family continues to grow. The artist sets up his mobile photo studio, and everyone is invited to be photographed. Each portrait is printed on site and placed freely onto a black canvas – a colourful patchwork of contrasts and diversity, in which every person matters. Taking part is simple: drop by, have your photo taken, belong …
