Grove of birch trees behind the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern Switzerland.
The Paul Klee museum is there; the family gravesite is in the cemetery nearby.
The first three are a small selection from the Zentrum Paul Klee 'Kosmos Klee.'
Could not help adding Lyonel Feininger from the Bern Museum. Feininger knew each other, worked together at the Bauhaus and influenced each other.
The Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau Switzerland has assembled art by Swiss painters for a long time. The museum has been reconstructed and also has contemporary art, exhibits and activities for children now.

Sophie Taeuber Arp, 1889 - 1943, was a brilliant Swiss artist who started her career in textiles, broadened to many other media. Please read about her in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Taeuber-Arp
Wassily Kandinsky said about her: "Sophie Taeuber-Arp expressed herself by means of the 'colored relief,' especially in the last years of her life, using almost exclusively the simplest forms, geometric forms.
