Switzerland's finest art museum — the world's largest Munch collection outside Norway, major Giacometti holdings, and recent expansion doubling the space with a stunning new building.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The Kunsthaus Zürich is the most important art museum in Switzerland and one of the finest in Central Europe. Highlights include the world's most comprehensive Edvard Munch collection outside Norway, the largest Giacometti collection in any museum, significant Monet, Picasso, Chagall, and a vast post-war Swiss art holdings. The 2021 extension by David Chipperfield doubled the museum's size and added one of Europe's finest contemporary art spaces. The Zurich Art Weekend in June transforms the city's gallery scene.
