Useful tips
- The exhibitions cover a large area, so choosing the artists or periods you're most interested in ahead of time will cut down on fatigue.
- It's close to the Old Town, making it a good indoor-focused route on rainy days.
- When laying out the exhibition route, the official description says the extension strengthens the focus on works from the 1960s onward, so it seems easiest to see the classical and modern works first, then move on to the contemporary exhibitions.
- Special exhibitions, closed areas, and admission conditions can change by visit date. If you have a specific artist in mind, check the current gallery location on the official exhibition page before buying tickets.
Frequently asked questions
Should I include the new building as well?
According to official information, the Kunsthaus Zürich extension opened in fall 2021 and strengthens the museum's focus on art from the 1960s onward. If you want to see modern and contemporary art too, consider the route through both the original building and the extension.
