I guess that I am not a modern art fan, but I did enjoy the building itself...Swiss Rail pass gets free admission, so worth a few minutes of your time. If you enjoy modern art and the exhibits at the time, it would be great.

We had a 2 day ticket 32 SF each that allowed us into all the museums. This was a well laid out and children really enjoyed.

Great museum with nice art and wonderful architecture. Located centrally. Would not make a detour for it though.

The museum is next to the trainstation so I had some time to kill until my train left and decided to visit the museum. The people at the museum were very friendly and made you feel welcome (as there was not too many people visiting the museum when I was there), but the collection was just ok - nothing special....

The museum is just next to Lucerne bahnhof, so it's really easy to get to. It's in the neat-looking building next to it, but occupies only a small section of it on the 4th floor. I just didn't really like their selection of art. I believe it's a continually moving exhibition, so maybe I just caught them at a not... More

Unless your interest in art tends toward the highly contemporary and conceptual, there isn't anything here (or wasn't during our visit, at least). There is a decent restaurant in the very nice building next to the Bahnhof, but that was the highlight of our visit.

If three black strings in an otherwise white painted room float your boat this is for you. I have been to many modern art museums around the world, but this one didn't do it for me. Sorry, 1 star.

I was disappointed due to the fact that I was expecting to see the permanent collection. Only one room dedicated to local hero Felix Vallotton was on display (wonderful room, for sure). We were told "there's no permanent collection" -my guide book disagreed, but we ended up enjoying the Cafeteria, with nice view and fine food. What is interesting is... More
