Named for the Swiss family who donated their impressive modern art collection to create this intimate museum, the Bechtler (that’s pronounced “Beck-ler”) is dedicated to works of the mid-20th century in various media. The collection is comprised of 1,400 pieces (Picasso and Warhol are among the artists represented), and many of these are accompanied by photos and letters that reveal the Bechtler family’s personal connection to these artworks.
