The Rothschild & Co Switzerland Art Collection & Exhibition Series

Supporting the arts, a longstanding family tradition.

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."

    Moving Narratives

    The second exhibition in the Rothschild & Co Switzerland Exhibition Series, explores themes of displacement, historiography, and oral tradition through the work of seven artists. Against the backdrop of recent global upheavals, the exhibition reflects on borders, identity, and the power of storytelling to shape our understanding of self and place.

  • Dwellings

    The inaugural exhibition in the Rothschild & Co Switzerland Exhibition Series, explores the architectural spaces we inhabit as vessels of memory, history, and societal change. Featuring eleven artists from five European countries, the exhibition reflects on the evolving role of domestic and professional environments in times of disruption and transformation.
