About
The St. Gallen Kunstverein (English: St. Gallen Art Association) helped found the museum.[1] Since 2012, the museum is operated by Stiftung Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (English: The Kunstmuseum St. Gallen Foundation). The building for the museum was designed by architect Johann Christoph Kunkler .[2]
The museum art collection includes Swiss, Dutch, French, and other European-originating paintings and sculptures, ranging in time from the late-Middle Ages to the present-day.[3][2] Since 1989/1990, the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen has participated in the Manor Cultural Prize, which is awarded every two years for Swiss emerging artist representing the Canton of St. Gallen.[4][5]
