2018 – When Switzerland opens its coffers
May 1 to December 24, 2018
The treasures of the Visitation of Freiborg are exhibited for the first time, in a setting both modern and surprising.
The rich liturgical vestments are embellished with gold and silver embroidery cut in precious silks with many memories of this house founded in 1635 in a canton where artistic creations are influenced by France, Germany and Italy.
