Since 2005, the center has become a landmark for locals and visitors alike, standing on one side of the highway with a distant view of the Swiss Alps.
Renzo Piano, a well-known Italian architect, conceived the museum as a "landscape structure" that makes nature visible from the inside through steel and glass walls. Aside from studying his masterpieces, there are temporary thematic displays that feature the works of Sigmar Polke, Wassily Kadinsky, and other artists. It's worth noting that all 18 routes around the structure are named after Klee's works. If you take the paths that circle the Zentrum Paul Klee, you will discover many signs with curious names.
