New permanent exhibition

Rainer Maria Rilke: SPACES, TIMES, LANGUAGES

Opening: March 2026

What fascinates readers all over the world about Rilke’s poems? What was the scent of 1921? How can we imagine the poet’s voice? In March 2026, the Rilke Foundation will open the new permanent exhibition and a new digital experience to mark the symbolic year.

The Rilke Foundation invites you to take part in this endeavour: When did you discover Rilke? What did you find in his poems, his prose, his letters? What surprised you, what inspired you? Write us about your experience by 31 May 2025. A selection of the answers will be presented in the new permanent exhibition.

We also invite you to become part of the extraordinary story of patronage, public and private support. Would you like to make a contribution of CHF 10, CHF 20 or CHF 100 to the construction of the new permanent exhibition? To thank you, you will receive an invitation to the vernissage in March 2026 and a publication.
