Creative connections: Bossard, Gull and the Swiss National Museum
In 1898, the architect Gustav Gull created designs for two cups as part of a collaboration with the goldsmith’s workshop run by Johann Karl Bossard in Lucerne. That same year, the newly built Swiss National Museum in Zurich, also designed by Gull, opened its doors to the public. Gull and Bossard’s impressive networks of contacts came together in the planning and design of the museum.
