Talk about lucky; the Kunsthaus is about a 2 minute walk from Natasha's flat. It's filled primarily with contemporary art, for example Torben Geihler's Matterhorn (2002), or Erwin Wurm's Guggenheim melting (2005). However, like the picture in this post indicates, there is some old art as well. To the left is the Kreuzigung of Giuliano di Simone (ca. 1400). Here's a detail. Here is a picture of Darbringung Christi by 'Der jüngere Berner Nelkenmeister'.There was also a pair of portraits by Hans Asper there. Since I've now also been to the Landesmuseum, and seen a few more portraits of his, I've noticed that in multiple instances he's decorated women's belts with a clasped-hands motif. Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures in the Landesmuseum, but here's a detail of his Bildnis der Cleophea Krieg von Bellikon (1538). I want to keep an eye out for this motif now.
