Culture
Friedrich Nietzsche, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Ferdinand Hodler, Richard Wagner, to name but a few,
came to the Engadin "as travelers and stayed as lovers. They sought relaxation and healing, distraction, artistic inspiration,
sporting and alpine challenges".

Museum Engiadinais
An Engadine collection as a total work of art
At the heart of the Museum Engiadinais with its 21 exhibition rooms are historical interiors from five centuries: panelled parlours from the Engadin and neighbouring regions, a ceremonial hall from the Valtellina, a stately kitchen and a bedchamber. The renowned architect N. Hartmann created the building in 1906 especially for this collection. The Museum Engiadinais can therefore be regarded as a complete work of art. The e-guide tells the story or stories behind it. This is included in the admission price.

Opening hours: Thursday to Sunday, 11.00 am to 5.00 pm
