The Switzerland Art Collection & Exhibition Series
Our founding family has a rich and enduring legacy of supporting the arts.
In 2021, we proudly launched the Rothschild & Co Switzerland Art Collection and Exhibition Series.
This initiative features rotating, curated exhibitions installed throughout our offices in Zurich and Geneva.
Each exhibition showcases the work of artists whose geographic roots reflect those of the five Rothschild brothers, who established a global trading network connecting Austria, Britain, Italy, France, and Germany to the wider world.
Our exhibitions run for approximately six months and are open by appointment to clients, partners, staff, and members of the public.
Select artworks are acquired at the beginning of each exhibition and added to our growing permanent collection, reinforcing our commitment to cultural engagement and artistic legacy.
Art is a time capsule which tells the story of an individual, a community and a certain moment in history. Our curated exhibitions aim to reflect the relevant topics of our times."
