Kunstmuseum Olten

The starting point for the two current exhibitions is the estate of the Oltner revolutionary Martin Disteli (1802–1844), who is in charge of the museum. The brilliant draftsman and caricaturist commented on the stormy years before the founding of the Swiss state in 1848 like no other with a sharp pen and vehemently campaigned for liberal civil rights as an artist, citizen, politician and military.
