Explore the HR Giger Museum

Located in the medieval town of Gruyeres, the HR Giger Museum is dedicated to the works of the renowned Swiss artist, famed for his design of the Alien films. Opened in 1998, the museum occupies St-Germain’s castle, a space transformed to reflect Giger's surrealist and biomechanical aesthetic.

The foundation of the museum was driven by Giger himself, who purchased the castle and has created a unique juxtaposition of traditional architecture with his futuristic art. With twenty rooms available, the museum showcases Giger’s paintings, sculptures, and furniture, alongside temporary exhibitions on the second floor.
