Kunsthaus Zürich holds one of Switzerland's most important art collections, from medieval work through Impressionism to contemporary art, with a strong Swiss focus. The historic Moser building of 1910 is joined by David Chipperfield's extension, opened in 2021, which added about 80 percent more space. The Bührle Collection is shown as part of the museum. A sculpture garden is open daily.
