The Müller founder family
|
That a new cultural institution of the calibre of the Zentrum Paul Klee could be created in Bern in the first place is largely the merit of two people: the internationally acclaimed surgeon an pioneer of orthopaedic surgery, Prof. Dr Maurice E. Müller, Dr h. c. mult., who was honoured in San Diego in August 2002 by SICOT (Société internationale de chirurgie orthopédique et de traumatologie) as Surgeon of the Century for his achievements and success in surgery, and his wife Martha Müller-Lüthi.
“My vision is of a Paul Klee Centre at Schöngrün. Here the museum would benefit from the open spaces and the unique country atmosphere. Paul Klee himself was a great teacher. My greatest wish is that the Paul Klee Museum at Schöngrün should also have a research centre attached, with classrooms. Investing in knowledge and the arts is a cultural asset.”
Prof. Maurice E. Müller at the press conference on 13 July 1998.
