Chesas da Cultura Engiadina

Welcome to the website of the Chesas da cultura Engiadina. We are an association of 19 cultural institutions between Maloja and Zuoz, between Samedan and Pontresina. These are museums and studios, libraries and archives, galleries and exhibition spaces that represent the diversity of Upper Engadin culture. Whether art or language, architecture or philosophy, food, alpinism or sport - the houses preserve a broad spectrum of regional cultural history and communicate it to locals and guests in exhibitions and numerous events.

Together we are organizing exhibitions, this year 2024 / 2025 this will be Splendur e sumbriva - light and shadow in the Engadin. Each house will have a different focus - from sunglasses to windows, from alpine light phenomena to the design of a spa resort, from literary light to the magic of light in the dark, from digital immersion to the analog repertoire of light and shadow, from the sun to the natural and artificial light of the night. Our joint Museum Night will take place on September 20, 2024.

This page serves to connect the cultural institutions, but also to give locals, guests and visitors easy access to the fascinating facets of Engadin culture. We look forward to your visit!
