Museo Casorella

The sumptuous sixteenth-century residence of the Museo Casorella, entirely restored, presents itself as the home of the City of Locarno’s art collections. The permanent exhibition highlights its most significant elements, namely a selection of works by Jean Arp, complemented by numerous of works by artists close to him, first and foremost Sophie Taeuber-Arp and a series of paintings by the Locarno artist Filippo Franzoni.

In front of the main facade of the building is a park containing sculptures by Max Bill.

Characteristic of the museum is the passage through a large archway to the inner courtyard of the adjacent Castello Visconteo.
