My friends were recouping from NYE while I ventured on my own. The museum was free NYD but someone said it's free on Wednesdays. The permanent art was free but the visiting pieces were not. Picasso and Andy Worhol were in same exhibit and cost 16Fr, but the girl at front desk said there is only 1 piece of Picasso to see, so I decided to skip the paying exhibit and see the free 1st and 2nd floors. I've spent a lot of time in many museums across Europe and I spent about 1 hour looking around. There is a cafe there if you need a small break afterward, a small gift shop and a free locker room for your coats and bags. You pick a locker with a numbered key and lock it, place the key in a safe pocket, then return the key for your things later. Was very convenient.

Visited on a Wednesday and entrance was free, but if not visiting on a Wednesday still worth the admission. Changing special exhibits and many works of famous masters. The museum is very well organized with interesting architecture. Should not be missed if visiting Zurich.

The Kunsthaus is spread across two buildings, both massive, so take plenty of time (and comfy shoes). You can see everything from Old Masters to contemporary experimentalists, plus current exhibitions. Today I saw Yoko Ono's 'This Room Moves At The Same Speed As The Clouds'. Two vast spaces with so many curated collections, classics and immersive ideas is enough to make your head spin. I recommend a coffee break early, perhaps stop for lunch before crossing Heimplatz and diving into another enormous array of sculptures, canvases and even views from the window to gladden your heart. Maybe make a weekend of it, especially if it's raining. Heads-up - admission is free on Wednesdays and it's one of the few places open on a Sunday. A highlight for art lovers.
