The Jean Planque Collection will return to Musée Jenisch Vevey this autumn for a museum-wide presentation bringing together works associated with some of the defining names cited in the collection’s holdings, including Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Bonnard and Paul Klee. The exhibition, titled ‘Collection Jean Planque — Le roman d’un collectionneur’, will open to the public on 6 November 2026 and remain on view through 18 April 2027.
A vernissage is scheduled for 5 November 2026 at 6pm. According to the announcement, the collection will occupy the entirety of Musée Jenisch Vevey, in Vevey, Switzerland, rather than being presented in a single gallery or limited section of the institution. The museum is located at Avenue de la Gare 2.
The presentation is framed around Jean Planque’s personal view of modern art. The museum describes the collection as a record of his “passionate” perspective, with the selection extending from Cézanne to Picasso and from Monet to van Gogh. Alongside those artists, the announcement names Pierre Bonnard and Paul Klee, as well as Jean Dubuffet, Georges Braque, Nicolas de Staël and Antoni Tàpies.
The range of artists identified in the announcement points to a collection spanning multiple generations and approaches to modern and postwar art. No further checklist or curatorial breakdown has yet been provided in the available notice, so the precise number of works and the arrangement of the galleries remain unspecified. The announcement likewise does not state whether the presentation will include loans beyond the Jean Planque Collection.
The exhibition follows other 2026 programming at Musée Jenisch Vevey, including the contemporary-art project ‘The Wonder Way Project — Les labyrinthes et les mondes oubliés’ by Emmanuelle Antille, scheduled from 5 September to 4 October, and a presentation of works by Alice Bailly scholarship recipients Lou Cohen and Eliot Möwes, running from 5 to 27 September. Those projects are separate from the Jean Planque exhibition, which begins in November and is described as taking over the museum as a whole.
The available announcement provides no additional details about the exhibition’s curatorship, catalogue, public programme, admission or opening hours. It confirms only the museum-wide scope, the named artists and the public dates: 6 November 2026 to 18 April 2027 at Musée Jenisch Vevey.
