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.

A large building with little in the way of help or guidance as to what to see. A lot of it was closed off today as new displays were being prepared which I guess has to happen sometimes.

The modern art leaves me cold but that's personal so othe...

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. Most striking was the building and the way the art was curated throughout it. I hadn’t previously associated Zurich with museums of this caliber, but this experience clearly changed that perception.

What an incredible art collection! Pieces by many masters including Giacometti, Miró, Picasso, Chagall, Renoir and many more. Also their temporary exhibits were so well done. Really impressed. Very large galleries with various floors of beautiful paintings, sculptures and installations. Also the architecture is a wonder on its own. 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!
