(Rosengart Collection; www.rosengart.ch ; Pilatusstrasse 10; adult/child Sfr18/10; 10am-6pm Apr-Oct,
11am-5pm Nov-Mar) Lucerne's blockbuster cultural attraction occupies a graceful neoclassic-
al pile. It showcases the outstanding collection of Angela Rosengart, a Swiss art dealer
and close friend of Picasso who, in an act of great civic generosity, made some 200-odd
works available to the public. Alongside works by the great Spanish master are paintings
and sketches by Cézanne, Klee, Kandinsky, Miró, Matisse and Monet. Complementing
this collection are some 200 photographs by David Douglas Duncan of the last 17 years of
Picasso's life with his family in their home near Cannes.
