The Aargauer Kunsthaus (English: Aargau Art House) is a Swiss art museum founded in 1959, and located in Aarau. The museum collection includes Swiss art from the 18th century to the present day; and Naturama, a natural history collection.[1][2]
Works in the museum art collection include Alberto Giacometti, Jean Tinguely, Richard Long, and Fischli/Weiss.[3]
The original building was built between 1956 and 1959 by local architects Loepfe Hänni and Hänngli.[3] In 2003, a new building extension was added to the museum.[3] The architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron designed the new building.[4]
