The Meret Oppenheim-Weg is inaugurated in Bern in her honor.
On 6 October 1983, the city of Bern honored Meret Oppenheim by inaugurating the Meret Oppenheim-Weg, a public walkway named after her on her 70th birthday. This was a momentous occasion as it marked one of the first instances in Switzerland where a public urban space was named after a contemporary female artist during her lifetime. This act recognized Oppenheim’s outstanding contributions to the art world and her influential presence as a pioneering woman artist.
