The current Exhibition of Lygia Clark is very special and inspiring, because you can try and feel a lot of the artworks. The Kunsthaus Zurich is a very modern & unique Museum with a lot of space for artwork. My favorite Artwork was an installation from Merzbacher’s exhibition. The work of Wolfgang Laib is also very inspiring! A huge thanks to the whole team of the Kunsthaus Zurich.

While in Zurich, we decided to visit this museum and were genuinely impressed by the scale and depth of the collection—the space itself is substantial.

I paid for the all access ticket and felt it was completely worth ...

Just beautiful. World-class art museum! Two buildings filled with art ranging from the classics to contemporary. You’ll find CyTwombly, Miro, Van Gogh, Renoir, you name it. We spent +5 hours and would still go back to check out every corner of the museum. Free general entrance on Thursday!
