............The new Montreux Suisse Hotels blog. Let's talk about Montreux and the Swiss Riviera in a different way
The Hans Ruedi Giger museum looks between reality and fiction in the middle of this medieval town.When you find yourself in front of the door, you will be like « What the hell this museum is doing here?”
I would no advise to bring young children – check these videos and you will understand why !
However I found it very interesting. HR Giger is a Swiss artist who won the oscar in 1980 for “Best Visual Effect” for his participation in the movie “Alien”. In the museum, you will find a huge collection of Giger film sets, sculptures and paintings. If you like dark art – go and visit this museum,
Go for a drink at the HR Giger bar which is close to the musuem. It worse having a coffee there for the decor which seems to be the inside of an Alien.
Have a look to this video if you want to learn more about HR Giger. Follow this link to have a look to a reportage in French about this great dark art artist.
