Established in 1862, the Société des beaux-arts et du musée is at the origin of the MBAL’s foundation in 1864. Since its creation and as the main owner, the Society has contributed to maintain and increase the collection and a demanding cultural program. Very active in the museum’s development and the cultural outreach, it includes a committee and contributing members. In order to extend the artistic experience beyond the museum, the association offers each year for sale an engraving by a well-known Swiss artist such as Claudia Comte, Sylvie Fleury, Sandrine Pelletier, Augustin Rebetez or other artists to be discovered on mbal.ch.
