The Valais Art Museum in Sion presents “Les grandes inspirations” until Sunday 31 January 2027. This cycle brings together five exhibitions in a single visit, on what inspires artists.
Who organises it
The cycle is presented by the Valais Art Museum, one of the Valais Cantonal Museums. It is the museum’s second exhibition cycle. It opened on 28 February 2026.
What to find
The visit includes two thematic exhibitions and three solo projects, devoted to Aurèle Oggier, Andriu Deplazes and Jeanne Jacob. The paintings, drawings and installations draw on nature, on the landscapes and history of Valais, or on the artists’ personal histories.
Visitors also see “Aquarium” (2014), a large installation by Joëlle Allet, and works built into the building and its terraces.
Several interpretive tools accompany the visit. The museum offers the Inspiro card game, a literary trail by Marlène Mauris and Johannes Raphael Millius, “Simples suggestions” labels and a collective weaving work by Marie Jambers.
