In the museum season 2025 we are very pleased to present a particularly interesting wood sculptor and artist: Urs-Peter Twellmann.
The Swiss artist from Emmental is a sculptor, draughtsman and land art artist. Sculptures, objects and installations with wood form the basis of his work. He will be presenting us with an exciting special exhibition.
Get to know him:
An insight into the big wide world of wood carving!
Friendly laughing bears . Grim mountain people . The famous wooden cow . Intricate groups . Sophisticated forms of nature . Ornamental reliefs . People, animals, figures, forms and much more.
The permanent exhibition is dedicated to the great variety of traditional and artistically significant wood carvings – feel free to immerse yourself! Our wood carver is regularly on site and lets you look over his shoulder.
Every year, the special exhibitions are dedicated to particularly interesting artists or the diverse themes surrounding wood sculpture.
Whether it’s the chalet phenomenon, carved masks, children’s toys or portraits of the Huggler carving dynasty, Carl Binder from Brienz to Paris, Bernhard Dürig’s natural forms or comprehensive exhibitions about women, contemporary Swiss artists or Brienz woodcarving as an intangible cultural heritage, the themes are varied.
Constantly adding new aspects characterises both the collective and special exhibitions. In this way, the museum is brought to life and constantly tells new stories.
It’s an annual highlight for wood artists and visitors from near and far!
The international event takes place every year. The next one is scheduled for July 1 to 5, 2025. See you there!
