The Oskar Reinhart Collection in Winterthur, Switzerland, is one of the most remarkable art museums of its kind, with a collection that ranges from superlative old master paintings and drawings to an exceptional group of Impressionist art

The works were assembled in the first half of the 20th century by Oskar Reinhart (1885-1965). Reinhart bequeathed his collection and house to the Swiss confederation, which opened as public museum in 1970 in his beautiful, large villa on the outskirts of Winterthur, close to Zurich, called ‘Am Römerholz’.

For the first time in its history, a rich array of highlights from the Reinhart collection will be displayed outside Switzerland, making this exhibition at The Courtauld Gallery a unique opportunity to see some of its masterpieces.
