The museum commemorates the philosopher and poet Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). The exhibition includes a rich collection of photographs and documents, manuscripts and letters from the Sils period, the original death mask, various busts (Max Kruse, Willy de Boe), music and a complete collection of works published by Nietzsche himself during his lifetime, including rare dedication copies. There is also documentation on the forgeries for which Nietzsche's sister was responsible and on Nietzsche's time as a professor in Basel. Other exhibition rooms house the valuable library with various editions of his works and secondary literature as well as a documentation of texts by many other artists and intellectuals about Nietzsche, Sils and the Engadin. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the Nietzsche House also regularly hosts temporary exhibitions of modern art.
