Experts' Choice Award Kunsthaus Zurich
What the experts agree on
Zurich's premier art museum, anchored by Rodin's "Gates of Hell" at the entrance, boasts a superb collection spanning six centuries—old masters through Impressionism—with an emphasis on 19th- and 20th-century greats like Monet, Picasso, and Chagall.
“With a varied and high-quality permanent collection of paintings—medieval, Dutch and Italian Baroque, and Impressionist—the Kunsthaus is Zürich's best art museum.”
