The 6 Best Museums in Old Town, Canton of Zurich

January 6, 2022 Claudia Navarrete

The largest city in Switzerland is a major contemporary art and shopping destination. Important artworks are displayed in the Kunsthaus and the Rietberg Museum, while those who consider shopping an art can hone their skills along Bahnhofstrasse and Niederdorf. Chagall's stained glass windows in the Fraumunster amaze and Zurich's 500 clubs and bars, including several in swimming pools, pulse with life 'til the early hours. This city on Lake Zurich has excellent public transit and a free bike rental system.

I visited this museum just to see the Sasha Dolls and I wasn’t disappointed (unlike when I went to the Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood to be told their Sasha Dolls were now in storage and unlikely to ever be on show again!). This is a small museum but if you are a Sasha Doll fan and from the U.K then this is a must as you won’t be able to see this many Sasha Dolls on display in England. The curator of the museum was lovely and on hand to provide me with more information about their dolls and showed me a few books. This museum was the highlight of my trip to Zürich and recommended for any Sasha Doll fan young or old.
