About
Museum Rietberg is a museum of non-European art in Zurich, Switzerland, at Gablerstrasse 15 in the city's 8002 district. It is also known as the Rietberg Museum. Its collections cover Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania, so a single visit can take you across several continents and many centuries of making.
The setting
The museum sits in a park, with historic villas among the trees. Walking up to the galleries gives a quiet change of pace from the streets of the city centre, and the grounds are a pleasant place to pause before or after your visit.
What to expect
- Art and objects from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania, shown together in one museum.
- Historic villas that give the visit a different atmosphere from a modern gallery.
- A green, park-like setting that suits a slower afternoon.
The museum is a good choice if you want to see art that is often underrepresented in European museums, and it fits well into a day spent exploring Zurich's cultural life. For opening times, prices and any current exhibitions, contact the museum by phone on +41 44 415 31 31 before you go.
