  Amazing gallery! A lot of art pieces from important artists! Free entrance to the permanent collection on Wednesdays. The staff was very nice! Reasonably priced cafeteria (for Zurich). Absolutely recommend it!

  Well designed exhibition with a big amount of famous artworks like one of Van Gogh's self portrait with bandaged ears and a pipe or Monet's water Lillie's. The top floor is like a labyrinth and orientation is difficult but the big and most remote room is amazing. Just take a seat on one of the sofas and every painting will be looking at you!
