The studio of the sculptor Hermann Haller (1880 - 1950), built in 1932, offers an insight into the work of the once most famous Swiss sculptor free of charge during the summer months. In the authentic ambience, his work is quite comprehensively present and ranges from quickly worked sketches to countless studies and small sculptures to the plaster models for the large-format figures cast in bronze. They tell of Haller's passionate engagement with the female figure and raise questions about the image of man and the concept of beauty. Many portrait heads bear witness to Haller's extensive network of contacts, which included important personalities from art, culture and science who stayed in Zurich in the 1920s and 1930s.
