The collections of the Baur Foundation Museum of Far Eastern Art - rich in nearly 9,000 objects of art from China and Japan - are housed in an elegant late 19th century mansion. The Swiss collector Alfred Baur (1865-1951) is responsible for a remarkable collection of Chinese ceramics from the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing eras, Chinese jades from the Qing period and Chinese tobacco flasks from the 18th to 19th centuries. Visitors can also view Japanese art objects including ceramics, lacquerware, prints, netsuke and sword ornaments.
These collections are the most important in the field of the Far East open to the public in Switzerland.
