The Segantini Museum

The Museum, which opened in 1908, was designed by architect Nicolaus Hartmann to be a monument, an accessible memorial to the great artist who spent the last 5 years of his life in the Engadine. The building, with its large cupola, was constructed along the lines of the pavilion Giovanni Segantini had planned for his Engadine Panorama, which was to have been exhibited at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900.

The Segantini Museum was renovated and extended in 1998-9 by architect Hans-Jörg Ruch.
