Kirchner Museum Davos

Architects Gigon/Guyer from Zurich created a masterpiece that provides Kirchner’s works with an appropriate showcase. The Kirchner Museum Davos, a culture jewel, houses a fascinating selection of his works as well as treasures with an artistic connection to his oeuvre. But the beauty of the museum goes beyond the aesthetic architecture – it is a homage to the visions and passion of the artist. The story of Kirchner is a journey of healing and inspiration. After a collapse during the First World War, he found solace in the heights of Davos. Today, thanks to the support of the artist community and visitors paying for admission, his legacy shines in the Kirchner Museum. More than 30,000 works bear witness to his productive creativity, and these treasures deserve the best protection.

Innovation to protect a legacy.

The administrator of Kirchner’s estate, Roman Norbert Ketterer, initiated the Kirchner Museum in Davos in 1992, a pioneering project by the architects Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer. But in a world where art is considered a legacy, security becomes an integral consideration. The museum therefore decided to bring its intrusion alarm system up to date and opted for our SecuriSafe Expert solution to protect its valuable holdings with innovation and precision.

Precision, speed and ease of use – an optimal combination.

SecuriSafe Expert is not only a conventional intrusion alarm system; it is also a protective shield for cultural assets of international importance. Developed in Switzerland, it is one of the first systems to incorporate IP technology, thus equipping it for the challenges of the future. When combined with SecuriNet, it easily bridges large distances and creates a high-security environment with encrypted data transmission that is inaccessible to third-party entities. 
 

SecuriSafe uses state-of-the-art detection technologies to provide effective intrusion mitigation. But its true strength lies in its simplicity in use, which enables fast and precise responses. Each user has their own personalised operating environment, including their preferred language and functions. The Kirchner Museum Davos is not only shaped by art, but also by state-of-the-art security: an alliance that preserves the artist’s heritage for future generations.
