You’ve carefully chosen your outfit for a special evening. You feel part of something greater. Outside, the air is crisp and the city is wrapped in the soft silence of winter. The warm glow of the LAC stands out among the snowy reflections and the lights of Piazza Bernardino Luini, where people like you are gathering for a unique cultural experience.
The building’s emerald façade reflects the evening lights, creating a striking contrast with Lake Lugano and the surrounding mountains. The LAC is more than a venue – it’s a symbol, a meeting point between art, architecture and landscape, where every detail tells an emotional story.
A dialogue between art and architecture by the lakeside
Lugano blends elegance and culture in perfect harmony. The LAC Lugano Arte and Cultura, the artistic heart of the city, hosts events, exhibitions and performances all year round. In this lakeside venue, every visit becomes an emotional experience.
