Fodor's Expert Review Musée d'Art du Valais

One of the main reasons to visit the Musée d'Art, housed in the remains of two 12th-century castles, is to discover the work of Swiss artist Ernest Biéler (1863–1948). For three decades from around 1905, he painted life in Savièse, a community in the Sion district. The naive vibe of these scenes and portraits offers a glimpse into the Valais as it once was. The museum also features a small but intriguing collection of canvases, photography, and other works from the 18th century to today by international and local artists.
