Zurich's principal art museum on Heimplatz, in two buildings linked underground, holding European art from the medieval period to the present with particular strength in Munch, Hodler and Giacometti.
For the Munch rooms, which are the largest holding outside Norway, and for a Swiss collection that explains Hodler and Giacometti properly rather than in passing.
Outstanding Munch and Giacometti, a well-made Chipperfield extension, free entry for under-14s, and inclusion in the Zurich Card for the collection.
Expensive even for Switzerland. The two-building layout is confusing on a first visit. The cloakroom charges unless you bought your ticket online.
Anyone with a serious interest in modern European painting, and holders of the Zurich Card, for whom the collection is free.
You are in Zurich for a day and the weather is good. The lake and the old town are the better call in that case.
Buy online, which makes the cloakroom free. Decide in advance whether you want the major exhibition, because the cheaper ticket does not include it. Start in the Chipperfield building and cross underground.
Collection and small exhibitions CHF 24, reduced CHF 17. Major exhibition CHF 31, reduced CHF 22. Free for members and for children and young people under 14. Zurich Card holders enter the collection free.
Tram 3, 5, 8 or 9 to Kunsthaus, which stops on Heimplatz outside the door. It is a ten-minute walk uphill from Bellevue.
Heimplatz, on the eastern edge of the old town below the university quarter, a short walk from the Grossmunster and the lake.
Two hours for the collection, three if a major exhibition is on.
Both buildings are step-free with lifts, and the underground passage between them is level.
Go for the Munch rooms and buy online so the cloakroom is free. Twenty-four francs is steep but the collection earns it; skip the major exhibition unless it is one you came for.

The Kunsthaus Zurich charges CHF 24 for adults for the collection and small exhibitions, or CHF 17 reduced, and CHF 31 for a major exhibition, CHF 22 reduced. Children and young people under 14 are admitted free. The collection is the reason to come: the largest group of Munch outside Norway, a strong Giacometti holding, Hodler, and a Chipperfield extension that doubled the gallery space in 2021.
