This is the biggest museum of Switzerland! It is definetely worth it to come and have a look! The exhibits are beautiful and there is art from 1910 up to 21st century! I would recommend that you do a guided tour. Also Wednesday’s the museum is free to join so keep that in mind!

I spent around 5 hours seeing exhibitions in 2 buildings which are connected with underground passage. The ticket was 29 CHF, expensive but definitely worth the money. The collection was amazing and inspiring... If you appreciate art, this is a must visit.

What a phenomenal museum! Great space, first of all, every painting was given loads of room to breathe. Amazing collection and smoothly presented. All the big names are here. The exhibitions are presented in such a way that a normal visitor walk-through culminates in a climax of the biggest names and the most impressive (at least fame wise) art pieces in modern history. We must have spent an hour in the last two rooms of Monet, Matisse, and van Gogh.

And then you realize there's the second half of the collection across the street.

Highly recommend getting the audio guide.

Went on a summery Sunday, not crowded at all.

What a great art museum! They have the largest collection of dada pieces in the world making in a exceptional experience if you follow that movement. There are many pieces from classic painters such as Picasso, Monet, Manet, Munch, Rembrandt, and more. There are two museum buildings across the street from each other which you can reach by crossing the street or by using the underground tunnel. Backpacks must be checked, photography is allowed, and the museum is free on Wednesdays except for the special rotating exhibit. Expect to spend 2-3 hours perusing the paintings.

Great museum with a variety of original paintings and sculptures from world-renowned international and Swiss artists. The who is who, between classical and modern art, are represented. Everything can be seen at extremely close proximity, without major barriers. There is a modern new building which is connected by a subterranean corridor to the old Kunsthaus building. Highly recommend.

Very good exhibits. Decent collections such Mondrian, Monet, Warhor, Edward Munch, Picasso, Van Gogh. Definitely worth the visit. Especially Wednesday which is free entrance so can be busy. Lockers are better on the old building.

If it's your first time to Zurich and interested in fine arts, it is the must-come place for sure! Very elegant design of exhibition movements, and it's super cozy and elegant to hang around the exhibitions! Almost no border with the world famous paintings! And the best part is that it's much less crowded than some other major city museums!

One of the best museums I have been to in the world and I have been to Paris Florence New York and more. It is very well organized and easy to navigate. The buildings are beautiful and clean, with special rooms to make you feel the art. The light installation in the new building with the sound experience is like nothing in the world. You cannot go to Zurich and miss this wonderful clean curated museum.
