Mili Weber Museum

The Mili Weber Museum does not showcase artwork, the museum and all its content is the artwork.

As soon as I enter the museum I am fascinated by the whimsical paintings and the play of light coming through the wood-framed windows of the charming chalet in Grisons style.

Delightful nature scenes with flower children and animals; striking oil paintings; a large dollhouse with minutely crafted themes of everyday life: room after room reveals furniture, walls, even floors & ceilings that provide testimony to Mili’s creativity. I’m fleetingly reminded of Swedish artist Elsa Berkow’s children’s books that I used to read to my daughters, and I learn from Museum Director Sibylla Degiacomi that indeed, Mili wrote children’s books as well. Some of the artwork by Mili’s stepsister Anna Haller (1872-1924) is also on display – talent evidently ran deep in this family.
