The gallery in front of the monastery wall was opened 1967 as a space for regional artists – especially those who do not yet have a busy exhibition programme and would like to show their work. The non-commercial gallery in front of the monastery wall has exhibited works by over 300 artists. Around 140 art-loving members support the «Galerie vor der Klostermauer».
Well-known artists have also exhibited in the gallery, but mostly before they had their breakthrough. For example Roman Signer or Oscar winner Hans Rudolf Giger.
The opening times of the «Galerie vor der Klostermauer» depend on when and who is exhibiting, so be sure to visit the website for up-to-date information.
