The Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK-ISEA), founded in 1951, is a competence centre for art scholarship and art technology with both a national and an international focus. Its primary activities are research, documentation, dissemination of knowledge and services in the field of fine art. Its core speciality is the production of art in Switzerland from the Middle Ages to the present day. Incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation, SIK-ISEA enjoys the status of an independent research establishment. Through its research, SIK-ISEA fosters fruitful exchange with universities, universities of applied sciences, museums and eminent specialists. We can look forward to a guided tour of the SIK-ISEA by Roger Fayet, director of the institute.
