The Museum Langmatt and the park will remain closed until spring 2026 due to the overall renovation. Thanks to various events, you can experience the renovation-related changes to the Langmatt.

Day of the empty «old» Langmatt - Sunday, 25 February 2024, 14–18 hrs
After all the furniture and pictures, chandeliers and curtains, books and vases have been removed in January/February 2024, the completely emptied Langmatt offers the opportunity for a unique experience: how will the characteristic Langmatt atmosphere change everything has been removed? The day of the empty «old» Langmatt will be followed by a day of the empty «new» Langmatt at the beginning of 2026, so that the differences between before and after can be compared. Admission free.

Guided tours of the building site
What will happen behind the gates of Langmatt during the complete renovation? In 2024 and 2025, there will be various opportunities to visit the Langmatt as part of guided tours of the construction site. The exact dates depend on the progress of the renovation work. They will be published on our website at short notice and communicated via newsletter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin.

Workshops for school classes
The overall renovation offers ideal opportunities for school classes of all levels to discover a different Langmatt. Each construction phase offers specific and varied workshop content. Further information on the 2024 workshops in German and English and, at a later date, on the 2025 programmes can be found at langmatt.ch/schoolclasses.

Processual art projects
The artist Reto Boller, the artist duo Bigler/Weibel and the cartoonist Silvan Wegmann (SWEN) have been invited to Langmatt for long-term process-based art projects. Three different perspectives, generations and artistic media accompany and document the structural changes during the overall renovation. During this time, snapshots will be published on the museum's website and newsletter as well as on social media. The projects will culminate in three cabinet exhibitions to mark the reopening.

Display Window Langmatt
The Langmatt is a guest at the Historical Museum Baden until the end of 2024. The Display Window Langmatt shows selected historical views and objects from the history of the Brown family's collection. An 8-minute film portrait of the historical origins of the Langmatt can be seen in the museum cinema. In May and autumn, joint events round off the guest appearance.

Exhibition tour
During the closure period, the Impressionists will go on a European tour. This is the first time in its history that the collection will be presented outside of Baden. Three major museums will be showing around 50 of the most important Langmatt paintings:

Fondation de l'Hermitage, Lausanne

Buchvernissage im Historisches Museum Baden

On 18 June 2023, the people of Baden voted in favour of the city's contribution of 10 million Swiss francs to the overall renovation and restoration of the Langmatt Museum. This is a decisive contribution to maintaining this institution, which is important in terms of art and cultural history, and to enhancing its value for visitors through structural extensions. The Langmatt Foundation and Museum are very pleased with the outcome of 79.25 % 'yes' votes.

The overall renovation in 2024/25 will preserve and protect the enchanting 120-year-old villa with one of the most important private collections of French Impressionism in Europe and the publicly accessible park. In addition to the structural renovation, the foundation Langmatt must now raise CHF 40 million for its endowment fund, providing the necessary interest rates for the long-term future of the museum’s operation. To this end, the Foundation, together with Christie's, will auction one to three paintings in November 2023.

In addition to the city of Baden and the canton of Aargau, the Langmatt Foundation is also contributing 3.19 million Swiss francs to the costs of the overall renovation - together with third parties such as municipalities and foundations, companies and private individuals.
