This museum is impressive! Built to command and inspire. It's big enough to take a few hours to explore and enjoy the exhibitions. 3 floors of amazing art at your disposal. Centrally located so you can take a stroll by the lake, before and after checking out the exhibits. The staff was friendly and super cool. Even to a solo traveler like myself. They speak most languages and will be courteous even when you're about to snap a photo when it's not allowed! Fun tip: if there's a concert, performance, or play you'd like to see but it's sold out, Show up 15-20 min before it begins and snag a spot from those who did not show up. This isn't free but it's worth it.

Looking at this huge rectangle green building cantilevered across one side of the square, attached to the main building of the museum, architecturally amazing, looks fantastic. Huge glass wall looking out to the lake, the entrance foyer, grand open space with stairs zig zagging to the upper levels. Ticket sales, restaurant bookshop and locker,, cloak room all easily seen from the entrance. Easy to get around, and with the audio guide, makes the viewing of the gallery easy. Lately is the Picasso exhibition, just fantastic. Recommended for a great day in Lugano.

This art center never disappoints. The natural lighting and high-ceiling spaciousnesses encourages an inner calm and bolsters the ability to reflect. It is the opposite of most places in an urban environment, so you are invited to slow down. The events and artists are absolutely top quality and the acoustics for musical performances is good. I will get a season pass for 2023 for sure. It’s just such a good place to spend time.

Expensive entrance fee. There are some nice pieces here, especially a fascinating exhibition of wood cut printing, including work by Munch. What's strange is that it's a large building, with hardly any art inside it. So much wasted space. So 4 stars because of the wonderful wood cut exhibition, but there's not much more to it.

Mattinata piovosa, ottima per visitare una bella mostra al Lac. Abbiamo visto 2 mostre interessanti. Il luogo è sempre bello, spazioso e pulito. Quando vado a teatro devo ammettere che la sala è super sia per comodità, che per spazio e audio. Inoltre da tener presente si vede bene ovunque ci si sieda, anche nelle ultime file. Non abbiamo potuto bere all'interno perché il bar/ ristorante apriva alle 12.00 quindi siamo rimasti all'esterno (medesima gestione), avvolti dalla copertina gentilmente messa a disposizione del bar e l'infrarosso a scaldarci. Accolti pure da molti passeri che sembravano affamati 😃 Abbiamo bevuto un calice di vino e un un caffè accompagnati da patatine e uno stuzzichino. Servizio veloce e molto gentili. Pagato poco più di 10.-

The exposition on Ernst Scheidegger resonated deeply with me and I greatly enjoyed it. (Streams of Spleen on the other hand, not so much). The staff was lovely, there is storage for coats and other personal items, and entry is free with the Swiss Pass.
