Renowned internationally for its captivating temporary exhibitions of contemporary and modern art, this museum is a cultural treasure of Eastern Switzerland. It offers a rich collection of paintings and sculptures spanning from the Late Middle Ages to the present, with the highlights displayed in a permanent exhibition.
The LOK, the second venue of the Kunstmuseum, serves as a culture lab for contemporary art. It is part of the Lokremise cultural center in St. Gallen, which was opened in 2010 by the Canton of St. Gallen. The immediate proximity to cinema and dance/theater opens fascinating synergies, while the raw character of the interior space enables process-oriented exhibitions.
