The art dealer Siegfried Rosengart (1894-1985), who moved to Lucerne after the First World War, was a friend of many leading artists, including Matisse, Chagall, Klee and Picasso. Together with his daughter Angela, he amassed an extraordinary collection which he and Angela donated to the town of Lucerne. It includes 32 paintings and 100 drawings, watercolours and graphic and sculptural works by Picasso, including five portraits of Angela herself. Now in her 80s, she still runs the museum, housed in a former bank building, and the whole of the ground floor, and several of the first-floor rooms are devoted to the Picassos, plus some remarkable photos of him at work, by David Douglas Duncan. Works from all periods of his life are represented, but the later years are particularly well covered. Apart from the portraits of Angela, among the highlights are the many portraits of his wife, Jacqueline; Déjeuner sur L'herbe (after Manet), Portrait of a Painter (after El Greco) and the Man with Pipe series from the late Sixties.
