They have a nice regular collection of cultural art from Africa and Asia to see for no entrance fee. Also they have a special collection for 18 CHF per person. Love the design of the place.

We are a member of the Rietberg society as well. They have a fantastic permanent collection of Asian art, and a few times / year special exhibitions; often in collaboration with e.g. the Victoria & Albert museum etc. When in Zurich, this is a must to visit!

One of the nicest museums in Zurich, Rietberg Museum is situated in a wonderful park. The building is also very nice and usually, the show very interesting collections. Even if you are not in museums that much, only the surrounding is worth to visit.

I LOVE the Rietberg: it's wonderfully located in a park, offers various superb exhibitions with objects from the past that still influence our present and are a stimulus for the future and last, but not least, the Rietberg Museum offers fantastic food that - if the weather plays along - can be enjoyed in the charming outside area. I prefer... More

This museum is in a marvellous location set in beautiful grounds. The collections were fascinating and the presentation very slick and imaginative. It has an excellent shop, although expensive (but this is Switzerland after all).

We really enjoyed this museum and it really had some amazing exhibits! I've never seen so many well preserved ancient artefacts in one place. Some exhibits were millions of years old! Amazingly it was actually free. I'd read up on prices etc before we went and was a little confused as some reports said it was free while others quoted... More

Unexpected the arrival on a winter day walking up that beautiful park near the stunning lake and then the villa with a small collection and the mostly underground very modern exhibition. Rare gems and objects inviting to meditation and the Peru exposition was impressive. A peaceful ambience rarely found in other museums. A must go while in Zurich.
