Many pieces I had never even heard of, and yet a small enough collection that I wasn't exhausted after seeing the whole place. The Picasso's came primarily from his later years; and a set of endearing photos of Picasso and his family taken by David Douglas Duncan. And then the floor with other moderns running from the impressionists into painters in the mid-2oth century

A few tips and tricks for those visiting: They ask you leave your backpacks and purses downstairs in the provided lockers. The elevator system isn't great, and will always stop at the lobby, no matter what you push, so it's a time consuming process to use it. The restrooms look like they should be pull doors, but they're actually push. It's the oddest thing and the honey and I were both tripped up by it. Overall, we both really enjoyed the museum, much more than the famous Prado, and would highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting Zurich, especially if it happens to be a Wednesday.

It is free on Wednesdays, but that does not include entry to special exhibitions. What makes things worse is that roughly half the collection is currently closed due to a fire. So you're just left with Impressionism and newer stuff. The Impressionist collection is decent at least.

The Rietberg Museum is a real must while in Zurich. I am really happy to have visited it. The…read moremuseum is huge and is separated into three different buildings, each of them obviously hosting a different type of exhibition. What makes this museum even more interesting is that the exhibition only contain non-European art. So what you mainly see here is art from Asia. There are also many objects from Africa, mainly wooden statues. In the Villa Wesendork you get to visit a lovely exhibition from Southeast Asia, which really impressed me. The museum lies on a hill and is accessible by tram no 7

Sure, there's some modern art by him, photos of some of his buildings, some furniture designed by him & even some design & colouring activities but there's not much info about the buildings & almost none on him.

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it." -Pablo Picasso…read more It took a bit to find the galleries that I wanted but once there, wow. This is the art I love to see - impressionists galore! On a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet without schoolkids or large groups. There was nothing distracting me from enjoying the art. The exhibit of existentialist Bernard Buffet works was magnificent with a number of his pieces. Andy Warhol considered Buffet the "last great artist of Paris." Beyond that, Cy Twombly, Edgar Degas. Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh (I've never seen "Marguerite Gachet at the Piano" before and the "Self-Portrait with a Japanese Print" was amazing) , Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse (paintings *and* sculpture!), Alexej Von Jawlensky's "Self-portrait") and more. What museum would be complete without works by Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder and Salvador Dali? So much to see, so much to enjoy, so much to appreciate. It is one of the greatest art museums in Switzerland and I had a tremendous visit. Gift shop has lots to purchase but the prices for even the smallest prints are very high. I didn't even get a postcard today. [Review 21230 overall - 78 in Switzerland - 195 of 2024.]

The depth and breadth of the museum's collection of artifacts is as impressive as the stunning and voluminous collection of landmark posters. The furniture area was also very cool. It's also one of the least-expensive thing you'll do in Zürich. Yes, it isn't a huge museum, but the entrance price is ultra-reasonable, with discounts for students and seniors.

This is a small but worthwhile museum to visit, especially if you're a fan of design. When I was…read morethere they had exhibits about skyscrapers and a retrospective of a fashion illustrator. Their gift shop was more like a gift "counter," but I liked their selection of merchandise. I guess it's also a school, which explained the "school-like" rest of the building.

It takes quite awhile to go through all the galleries to see everything, especially if you read everything on the walls, too! It was really breathtaking to walk into a gallery and see the large Monet painting "The Water Lily Pond" hanging on a full wall; such a beautiful surprise. His "Water Lilies" was also in the same gallery. Definitely worth the visit and there's a discount offered (50%) when you present your BaselCard, which is a tourist card you can get for free from your hotel. 13.50 CHF (Swiss francs) at the time I went (November, 2023).

Klee is a Swiss-born artist and this museum pays homage to his life's work. They also feature other artists in a rotating exhibit. You are allowed to take photographs in the museum which is nice and they have a super awesome children's center with easels and fun activities for the little ones, so if you have small children they would LOVE it here. Many of Klee's work resonates with children's artwork, with the forms, colors, shapes and lines he used. We also really enjoyed the gift shop, and they had reasonably priced knick-knacks and fun stuff (reasonably priced for a museum and Switzerland :) ) We also dined in at the museum snack bar area, the food was just o.k., and not a huge selection so if you're super hungry afterwards grabbing a coffee and a treat (nuss gipfeli anyone?) I might recommend that over getting your full lunch here. They carry the Chaya iced teas here which are super delicious but prety expensive...5 CFH. All in all though, this is a great museum to come to if you are in the Bern area. Expect to spend between 1-2 hours for your visit.
