I have visited many, many museums in Europe and the states, and this is one of my favorites. There are many gorgeous Chagalls and all the great Fauvists, along with Picasso and the Masters. The size and space are very easy to navigate (unlike the Musee D'Orsay, where EVERYONE is lost!), and there was a fascinating exhibit about emerging artists... more

I have read other posted reviews. I agree with many points that they do have a pleasant space. They curate their permanent collection well in a relaxing environment. Also, they often have very good temporary exhibitions. I also strongly agree on the point that they have important master pieces though those are the worst examples of those artists. To me,... more

Kunsthaus is a fun place to go. A short tram ride from the Hauptbahnoff, passing through Belevue (one of the most gorgeous views of the city). A small museum that holds some great masters names, but none of which are famous masterpieces. It is a good way to enjoy something that will most likely not be in the art history... more

For having visited most of the famoust museums in Europe (but also in NYC), for my purpose the Kunsthaus in Zurich is one of the famoust one for the simple reason that it combines important works (and masterpieces) from most of the pictural art era and a quite peacefull architecture allowing quiet appreciation of the works.

I do enjoy living in Zurich very much but need to say that city museums on the whole and Kunsthaus particularly are very disappointing. If you have ever been to Hermitage, Prado, Tate etc you will get bored after 3 minutes inside. And even without awaiting to see something special / impressive it is quite sad that a reach country... more

The museum of art does not look very great from the outside, but it's really worth a visit. In their collections they've got masterpieces by Chagall, Van Gogh, the old dutch masters, Monet, and many others whose names I do not remember, maybe I was so busy admiring their works, I could n't carry anything else on my mind at... more
