Cantonal Print Room

Housed at the Musée Jenisch Vevey since 1989, the Cantonal Print Room is dedicated to preserving, researching, promoting and exhibiting the medium of the print in all its forms. With more than 40,000 works ranging from the Renaissance to the present day, it brings together three public collections as well as three collections loaned by two foundations and an association; through their generosity and trust, these contribute to the promotion of printmaking in the canton of Vaud:

The Canton of Vaud’s Print Collection
The City of Vevey’s Print Collection
Professor Decker’s Print Collection
The William Cuendet & Atelier de Saint-Prex Foundation
The Musée Alexis Forel Collection
The Pierre Aubert Foundation

In addition to the cantonal print room, the Musée Jenisch Vevey houses three collections on loan:

• The Werner Coninx Foundation’s collection of prints
• The woodcut collection of the Alice Bailly Foundation
• The print collection of the Jean and Suzanne Planque Foundation
