This is definitely one of the top museums for modern art in Switzerland, honoring its citizen Paul Klee. Just now there are two exhibitions, one presenting his contemporary, Juan Miró and the second, featuring a selection of Klee's work, called "the technical frenzy of Klee". Both are extremely interesting and should not be missed. The premises are beautiful and themselves worth a visit and the museum shop is of high quality. We particularly like the Klee postcard section where you will always find something appealing to send to you friends or beloved ones. A must when visiting Berne.

A spectacular arrival with a building emerging from the ground by the architect RENZO PIANO. The forms blend perfectly with the landscape, almost disappearing into it.

Once inside three interconnected buildings. One with restaurant and seminar, one with perpetual and ephemeral collection, one with research center. It is very pleasant to look at every corner of this building.

For the exhibitions, that of Paul Klee in the basement retraces its history very well through its evolution, and there are opportunities to create things.

For the ephemeral exhibition for me it was Joan Miro. A very interesting installation with very beautiful pieces to discover.

For the shop I find that something is missing, I think there are many ways to improve it.

Unmissable passage for those who appreciate art and for others too with magnificent views.

Zentrum Paul Klee is a museum dedicated to Bern’s favourite artist Paul Klee - an important 20th century Classic Modernist artist. The museum has an architecturally pleasing exterior with its wave-like form signifying the artist’s fascination with water and nature and how humans integrate with it. The interior is clean and uncluttered and makes for a very pleasing viewing experience. I chose the audio guide and it accurately reflects Klee’s inspirations and events in his life. For Paul Klee fans it would be an awe inspiring experience. For those who don’t know him then it may not overwhelm you. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and getting to know his life better. Mind you they have over 4000 pieces of the artist and roughly 100 pieces are on display so much is in storage. I particular enjoyed Pomona, Overripe and Seasnail King. The admission was included with the Swiss Travel Pass and the audio guide cost me 6 CH. Washrooms and lockers are in the basement.
Overall a great experience for me. For those who don’t know him then maybe less than inspiring.

The building is huge and fabulous, but the inside is a big disappointment.
The vast airy spaces are void, practically empty, completely wasted.
Apparently they have over 3,000 works by Klee in storage, but only display 100 at a time, rotating them according to some arbitrary theme.
On the day we visited, there was nothing attractive on display, mostly scribbled drawings, nothing renowned. What a waste!
The best part was a video of his life and art, which included his master works (not on display), but this would have better been consumed on YouTube at home.
Avoid!

I came to Bern specifically to enjoy 2 hours on my own at the Zentrum Paul Klee. Since many of his works are on paper and fragile, the Klee exhibitions rotate quarterly. The summer exhibition focused on Klee's love of nature. Klee painted and sketched like a poet distilling down to the beautiful essential. The building is a work of art, modern technology, and thoughtful architecture designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano.

The biggest collection of Paul Klee’s masterpieces. Absolutely beautiful park and a building. A lot of nice temporary exhibition. Master classes for children are also organized. Definitely worth to visit.

Architectural marvel, interesting exhibition, and their Sunday morning family activities are a must if you're looking to do something cultivated with the kids!

Modern museum with a unique arquitecture. Inside the public spaces and the exhibition halls are beautiful and amazingly designed. The exhibition itself was nothing extraordinary just great...????????Paul Klee deserved to be named after...yeah ????
