To give that which cannot be grasped a face - this desire is as old as humanity itself. This fact is proven by countless pictures of gods and cult figures from all over the world. The Museum of Rietberg possesses an internationally renowned collection with works of art from Asia, Africa, America and Oceania. In historic villas in Rieterpark, Buddhas and Mayan princes, Maori cult figures and Japanese masks are united.

The valuable sculptures that Baron Eduard von der Heydt (1882–1964) gave as a gift to the City of Zurich in 1952, form the core of the permanent collection that is continually being enlarged mainly by further endowments.

The Emerald Extension was opened in 2007; the mostly subterranean complex doubled the exhibition area of the museum.
