A wonderful museum with all the big famous names all through the eras: Monet, Van Gogh, Klee, Modigliani, Kandinsky, Miro, Picasso, Warhol, Bacon etc. Unlike the more famous and bigger museums in Europe that house famous works, this museum is small enough to allow you to be intimate with the art. On the day I visited, entrance was free! And... More

This is a great art museum...the had a Chagall exhibit when we visited that was inspiring and not to be missed! Just a short walk from the old town.

Chagall's exhibition, worth the visit. Impossible to take bags or water inside, not practical when you visit with babies. Not included in the Zurich museum passes.

The Chagall exhibit was great. The cafe served good cakes but was crowded and service was slow (short of staff I guess).

We went to see the special exhibition (Marc Chagall) which apart from slightly confusing layout was a great way of exploring his time in Paris and his whimsical take on Vitebsk, life love and the universe. The permanent collection is pretty huge as well, I needed a break in between but the cafe was packed and it wasn't warm enough... More

we were in the Kunsthaus during the Chagall exhibition which was great - but the permanent collection is also suprisingly good. Painting styles (Impressionism and later) are really well represented, there are also some good paintings in the "Old Masters" section.

I always enjoy the exhibitions at Kunsthaus, and particularly the recent Chagall exhibition. The audio guides give just enough information to make the viewing experience more interesting

To no great surprise - up another hill. Well worth the trek up the hill as museum is beautiful with quite interesting collections. Easy to spend half of a day viewing the collections.

The Kunsthaus art museum was great! The collection was impressive and the actual museum itself was beautifully done. The exhibition spaces were constructed for optimum viewing. The modern art space was impressive, and the collection was very good. All the other period art was very good...the Chagall exhibit was great!
