About the job
Scientific Collaborator
Fribourg, CH, Sarine, CH
Who are we?
The Art and History Museum (MAHF) consists of three parts: the Ratzé hotel, the former slaughterhouse, the building dedicated to temporary exhibitions as well as a garden serving as a setting for monumental sculptures.
The Jean Tinguely - Niki de Saint Phalle Space (Espace JTNSP) is a magical place that pays tribute to the creativity of two great 20th-century artists.
The works gathered in the two institutions document the cultural history of the canton. With the permanent presentation of the collection and temporary exhibitions, they thus offer keys to understanding the past and present, while raising public awareness of the creation of Fribourg artists. Numerous public events take place throughout the year.
