Tina Turner’s widower is planning to turn her Swiss estate into a museum dedicated to her life and work.

The ‘Simply The Best’ singer, whose death was confirmed last week, bought the 10-building waterfront retreat that overlooks Lake Zurich, with her husband Erwin Bach in 2021.

A Swiss newspaper says it “may now be used to showcase memorabilia from the superstar’s career.” The century-old, 260,000-square-foot property includes a pond, stream, swimming pool, and boat deck.


The late singer, the Tennessee schoolhouse she attended as Anna Mae Bullock called Flagg Grove School became a museum in 2014. According to The Guardian the museum “averaged 35,000 visitors a year before the coronavirus pandemic hit.”

Sonia Outlaw-Clark, the Executive Director, West TN Delta Heritage Center, Tina Turner Museum and Visit Brownsville TN told The Guardian that, “We learned when we were researching the school that her great-uncle – her great-grandfather’s brother – actually built the school and so that made it even more special because not only was it a part of her schooling but it was a part of her family legacy.

No word on when the Swiss home will be opened to the public.
