The exhibition Backstage, featuring works from the collection, offers the chance to take a look behind the scenes at the museum. We spent the past two years preparing our collection: works were reviewed, documented, and rediscovered. To mark the museum’s anniversary, we will be presenting the results of this work based on five themes from the wide world of Outsider Art. The exhibition will feature familiar and little-known works from 30 years of collecting, such as Emily Salz’s magical tapestries, Brida Lazzarino’s fascinating perspectives, and Philippe Saxer’s impressive drawings. With Backstage, the Museum im Lagerhaus will reveal previously hidden secrets from its collection.

Hedi Zuber (1916–1996), a woman of small stature who suffered from rickets, is one of the great naive painters. In 2016 we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the artist. The Museum im Lagerhaus is showing an exhibition of her extensive oeuvre featuring a new way to experience the works. For the first time, selected exhibits can be viewed with augmented reality. This will make it possible to see Hedi Zuber’s art and her Art Brut colleagues from St.Gallen Jakob Greuter, Hans Krüsi, and Erich Staub in a new light with a greater depth of information.
