The museum

The museum Rudolf Stolz in Sesto was established in 1969 at the initiative of Margarethe Stolz Hoke, the daughter of the painter Rudolf Stolz, and the artist Giselbert Hoke, the architect Erich Pattis as well as local art lovers. It was inaugurated and opened to the public on April 13, 1969 and managed for the next 25 years by the daughter Hanni Stolz and after her death by Rudolf Holzer.

In 2005 the museum was redesigned and expanded. A Board of Trustees consisting of Hermann Rogger, Karl Mayr and Johannes Watschinger manages the permanent exhibition and regularly curates theme-based and solo exhibitions. To do so the museum is in continuous contact with collectors and gallerists at home and abroad.

The museum is located in the heart of the village and contains works of Rudolf and Albert Stolz. The collection has been expanded over the years, also thanks to generous donations especially by the sisters Inge, Annemarie and Rosmarie Reut-Nicolussi, who donated works created by the two brothers during their time as war painters at Lake Garda.

In 2015 the museum was also able to acquire the painting “Regentag in Sexten” (Rainy day in Sesto) by the Austrian impressionist painter Marie Egner thanks to the generous support of a private entrepreneur, the local municipality and the Stiftung Sparkasse. The artist spent time in Sesto in 1906 living at the Pension Hofer.
