Temporary exhibition

22 April 2023 – 22 October 2023 · Museo Hermann Hesse Montagnola

Tribute to Heiner Hesse (* 1.3.1909 † 7.4.2003) on the 20th anniversary of his death.

After his father's death, Heiner Hesse took over the administration of his legacy with commitment and great responsibility. It is mainly thanks to him that the museum was opened in 1997. The exhibition not only honours these merits, but also portrays the unusual relationship between father and son.

Curator: Regina Bucher

With the support of: Municipality of Collina d’Oro, Repubblica e Cantone Ticino DECS-SWISSLOS, Fondazione Ing.Pasquale Lucchini, Hermann Hesse-Stiftung Bern, Heiner Hesse Heirs and other Foundations who prefer to remain anonymous.
