Flash on the collection - Behind the scenes at the Musée d'art de Pully

Founded in 1949 as the “Musée du Vieux Pully”, the institution's original ambition was simple: to preserve the heritage and memory of the people of Pully. This past, made up of heterogeneous objects and regional works, still informs the collection today. The exhibition highlights several key works, from those by Marius Borgeaud to those by emerging Swiss artists who have won awards from the “Association des Amis des Musées de Pully”, not forgetting the Fonds Pierre Cailler and contemporary photography. Alongside them are more unexpected pieces, discreet but eloquent witnesses to the progress made by the institution, now fully dedicated to art. With humility and transparency, and without turning in on itself, the Musée d'art de Pully invites us to look back to better illuminate the choices of tomorrow, in a lively dialogue between past, present and future.The exhibition includes works by François Bocion, Marius Borgeaud, Louis Clermont, Chloé Démétriadès, Andriu Deplazes, André Derain, Max Ernst, Léonor Fini, Matthieu Gafsou, Abraham Hermanjat and Ferdinand Hodler, Lucie Kohler, Xenia Laffely, Marie Laurencin, Fernand Léger, Violette Milliquet, Jacques Pajak, Germaine Richier, Maya Rochat, Gino Severini, Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, Félix Vallotton, Kees Van Dongen and Zao Wou-ki.
