About the Museum
Founded in 2015 following the merger between the Museo Cantonale d’Arte and the Lugano Museo d’Arte, the Museo d’Arte della Svizzera italiana (MASI), whose central location represents the beating heart of the renamed LAC cultural centre and, as of 2016, has been one of the top art museums in Switzerland, attracting over 100.000 visitors per year. MASI is also one of the twelve Art Museums of Switzerland, selected by Svizzera Turismo to represent our country’s cultural image and, as of 2018, is one of the two art museums supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Culture.
