About this audio guide

This guide to Sammlung Rosengart in Lucerne follows the art-dealing family behind it, Siegfried Rosengart and his daughter Angela, whose gallery habit of quietly keeping favorite works instead of selling them grew into one of Europe's great private collections. It traces Angela's own start as a seventeen-year-old buyer and her long friendship with Pablo Picasso, through to the unlikely building the collection now calls home. Listen for how a former bank's vault ended up lined with Paul Klee instead of currency.
