Museum zu Allerheiligen

The eclectic Museum zu Allerheiligen (All Saints Museum) is located in an 11th-century former Benedictine monastery in the picturesque old Swiss town of Schaffhausen. Its collection of art spans the 15th century to today with pieces by Lucas Cranach the Elder, Ferdinand Hodler, Félix Vallotton, Otto Dix and Adolf Dietrich, among others. Alongside temporary exhibitions, the museum’s permanent displays highlight the Ebnöther Antiquities Collection, the most important Swiss collection of ancient objects from the Americas, which is shown with artworks from the Ancient East and the Mediterranean region; local archaeology, natural history and culture over the past 1,000 years; and curated selections from the museum’s collection of 2,000 paintings, 300 sculptures and 30,000 works on paper. The site also includes Switzerland’s largest Romanesque church, a historic cloister and a herb garden, celebrated as one of the most beautiful public gardens in the city.
