The 10 Best Art Museums in Zurich, Canton of Zurich
The largest city in Switzerland is a major contemporary art and shopping destination. Important artworks are displayed in the Kunsthaus and the Rietberg Museum, while those who consider shopping an art can hone their skills along Bahnhofstrasse and Niederdorf. Chagall's stained glass windows in the Fraumunster amaze and Zurich's 500 clubs and bars, including several in swimming pools, pulse with life 'til the early hours. This city on Lake Zurich has excellent public transit and a free bike rental system.

This fantastic art museum displays Western works since the 1600s and has an especially impressive selection of modern art.

We spent about 3 hours here and enjoyed both the museum itself and the artwork. We spent most of our time in the 19th century and forward collections and had the opportunity to see some fine Chagall paintings and a stunning Van Gogh work painted the last year of his life. Many sculptures by Giacometti and a current exhibit on Matisse sculptures.

This art museum is the only art museum in Switzerland that focuses on non-European art, and has a substantial collection from Asia, America, Africa and Oceania. It's also located in one of Zürich's most beautiful parks.

This is one of Europe's hidden gems. Hidden, it has to be said, partly through its own fault. I talked to people who live in Zurich who did not even know about it and it is not well advertised or signposted. But it is really worth finding. The collection of early Chinese ceramics alone is stunning -- most of the pieces would be in any national museum that could get hold of them. But there are also fabulous collections of Japanese, pre-Columbian, Indian and African art. The displays are excellent, with labels in English as well as German and the design of the buildings (linking a new extension with a 19th century villa) is very pleasant to move around. The scale overall is ideal -- a good morning or afternoon with lunch in the cafe is perfect.
