Kunsthaus Zuerich Museum

The Kunsthaus Zürich houses one of the most important art collections Switzerland. The collection spans from the Middle Ages to contemporary art, with an emphasis on Swiss art.

The museum was drawn-up by architects Karl Moser and Robert Curjel, and opened in 1910. The bas-reliefs on the facade are by Moser's longtime collaborator Oskar Kiefer. The museum's collection includes works from Edvard Munch, Jacques Lipchitz and Alberto Giacometti. Swiss artists such as Johann Heinrich Füssli, Ferdinand Hodler or from recent times, Pipilotti Rist and Peter Fischli are also represented.
