The Museum of Fine Art is housed in a late 19th century Renaissance Revival building. There are more than 50000 items in the museum's collection. The permanent exhibition chronicles Swiss and international art from the Middle Ages to the present. There are works from Cezanne, Matisse, Chagall, van Gogh, Picasso, Dali, Monet and others. In May 2014 the museum was offered the controversial Gurlitt Collection, parts of which were thought to have been looted during Hitler's regime. Approximately 1500 works, including old masters and examples of Expressionism, Impressionism and Cubism, were accepted and exhibited in 2018.
