The roots of the Zurich Kunsthaus (Art House) go back to the year 1787, when several artists and art lovers first met. The meeting led to the founding of the Zurich Art Association, with 20,000 members one of the largest in Europe.
Today the Kunsthaus is well known for its top-class collection. It ranges from Medieval sculptures and panel pictures, paintings of the Baroque period (such as Rembrandt and Domenichino) to masterpieces of Swiss 19th and 20th century painting. The rich collection is complemented by the largest collection of Munch paintings outside of Norway, important paintings by Picasso as well as several well-known Expressionists and important works by Monet and Chagall.
