The Zurich Gallery Mile
Zurich is a Dynamic City of Art and Culture
World-leading institutions such as the Kunsthaus Zürich are in dialog with a diverse gallery scene that includes not only internationally established players, but also many young and innovative galleries. The offer is rounded off by a fascinating and lively underground scene with its creative off spaces. In terms of city size, there is hardly any other European metropolis with such a density and diversity of art offerings.
An Art and Gallery Tour Around the Kunsthaus Zürich
A new era is dawning at the Kunsthaus Zürich: the extension by architect David Chipperfield will turn the renowned museum into the largest art museum in Switzerland. And like a cultural magnet, the Kunsthaus attracts a wide variety of galleries and creative types, who set up shop around the museum. We pay a visit to Charlotte von Stotzingen, Director of Zurich Art Weekend.
Dynamic Gallery City
Zurich has an extremely high density of galleries. For a long time, the trendy Zürich-West district with its industrial past was considered a hotspot of the art scene. Now more and more galleries want to be close to the Old Town and the Zurich Kunsthaus again. Several recent openings bear witness to this trend: for example, the Presenhuber Gallery, which has been operating an additional branch near the museum since the beginning of 2020. The same goes for the Zurich branch of the renowned Lévy-Gorvy with Rumbler gallery. Hauser & Wirth have also recently opened two locations on Rämistrasse — a bookshop and a showroom.
