Muzeum Susch

Susch, Switzerland

When Polish entrepreneur Grazyna Kulczyk established an international center for art, she forwent an up-and-coming cosmopolitan locale for a rural village in a Swiss alpine valley. Muzeum Susch inhabits a 12th century monastery and brewery, with gallery spaces burrowed into the mountains behind it. The museum’s inaugural exhibition, “A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women,” opened in January with the aim of exploring “the notion of the feminine in its diverse facets.” The museum will also host a think tank dedicated to analyzing the role of women in the arts and sciences. —Wilder Davies
