Born in 1909 in Lucerne, Switzerland, Hans Erni studied to become a professional artist at the School of Arts and Crafts in Lucerne from 1927 to 1928 and at the Académie Julian from 1928 to 1929.

The museum contains the largest collection of Erni's artwork in the world. The artist is still alive today, and celebrated his 100th birthday in 2009. Sadly, the artist died March of 2015.
