Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation

Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation

The Rainer Maria Rilke Foundation (in French: "Fondation Rainer Maria Rilke") was established in 1986 in Sierre, Switzerland, on the patronage of the municipality. Its goal is to promote the knowledge of Rainer Maria Rilke's works, through a museum, exhibitions, lectures, conferences, publications and a festival. The famous poet spent the five last years of his life in the city, living in the medieval manor of Muzot.

Since 1987, the foundation installed the museum in the "Maison de Courten", built in 1769, located at the "rue du Bourg 30" in Sierre.

Rilke Festival

Since 2000, the foundation organize every three years a "Festival Rilke" which take place in the "Château Mercier" and its gardens. The program is made of theater performances, readings, conferences, concerts, and dialogues between writers and readers. A writing workshop is proposed for the children. The last festival theme, in August 2006, was "The russian friendship : Rilke-Tsvetaïeva-Pasternak". The next festival will take place between August 21 and 23, 2009.
