Organisation – KUNSTHAUS

A dynamic institution since 1787

Switzerland’s first combined collecting and exhibiting institution has been overseen since 1787 by the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, an art association that now numbers over 19,000 members. Its board, which includes representatives of the private and public sectors, appoints the Director, who presides over a management team divided into four areas.

The association structure and high level of financial self-sufficiency give the Kunsthaus a degree of flexibility when developing and delivering its programme.

Some 180 staff keep things running smoothly. The Stiftung Zürcher Kunsthaus is a separate foundation with responsibility for property maintenance and leasing out areas for restaurant and café services. The Einfache Gesellschaft Kunsthaus Erweiterung is a partnership created to commission and oversee construction of the Kunsthaus extension. It includes representatives of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, the Stiftung Zürcher Kunsthaus and the City and Canton of Zurich.
