Museum – KUNSTHAUS

A MULTIFACETED MUSEUM

The Kunsthaus is a dynamic institution: it proceeds from current issues to shed light on historic developments, and promotes art appreciation through the selection and presentation of artworks and the dissemination of learning about art. The Kunsthaus is a site of knowledge production where key topics are broached and showcased in the company of the latest scholarship. In a world that is increasingly interconnected, it opens the door to other cultures. Expansion into the virtual realm presents opportunities that are grasped and exploited to the full.

« With the opening of the extension, the Kunsthaus has embarked on a new era. At this time, we need to reflect profoundly on our role as a museum in a time of multiple cultural and environmental challenges, but also new opportunities » — Ann Demeester, Director

Art education

At the Kunsthaus Zürich, visitors of all ages, individually and in groups, will find numerous ways to engage with art in the collection and the temporary exhibitions. Join a guided tour to learn about art-historical contexts, attend an art talk for an in-depth exploration of a topic, or let the artworks inspire you to create something of your own.

Our programme includes regular activities for children of all ages. During the school holidays, full-day workshops offer a young person’s guide to the world of art, while our kids’ clubs mix fun with a more in-depth look at art for children starting from age 3. Our programme for schools includes workshops and educational guided tours for groups from kindergarten to school-leavers.
