Things to do in Zurich, Canton of Zurich: The Best Museums

April 30, 2022 Viva Honore

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.

Museum of Art (Kunsthaus Zurich)

This fantastic art museum displays Western works since the 1600s and has an especially impressive selection of modern art.

We spent about 3 hours here and enjoyed both the museum itself and the artwork. We spent most of our time in the 19th century and forward collections and had the opportunity to see some fine Chagall paintings and a stunning Van Gogh work painted the last year of his life. Many sculptures by Giacometti and a current exhibit on Matisse sculptures.

A wonderful place to keep amazed about nature as it used to be some million years ago till our times in the area of Zurich. Hands on experience. You are immediately joining the show, and learn a lot in a creative and playful way.
