Collection Paul André Ramseyer
La collection de l’Ambassadeur Paul André Ramseyer comprend notamment un ensemble d’œuvres issues du sous-continent indien, acquises lors de son séjour à Delhi entre 1968 et 1971, alors qu’il y occupait les fonctions de Secrétaire d’ambassade. Ces remarquables pièces reflètent son intérêt pour la richesse artistique et religieuse de cette région.
