We stopped by unexpectedly after our hiking plans were rained out, and were very glad we did! We got discounted tickets with our Swiss travel pass and decided to check out the main museum. We spent most of our time in the energy, train, and car sections of the museum. For a weekday afternoon near closing time, it was not crowded at all so we were able to see everything we wanted. Some of the highlights are the various railroad cars - it was so interesting to see how the appearances differed across centuries! The huge model trainset would be a lot of fun for kids. We were also struck by the wide selection of cars across centuries, and the machinery that brings them up and down so you can see them more closely. The simulation experiences are really cool for all ages, we learned a lot about the different forces at play during the crash test. The museum of mirrors was also a hit - it was so much fun trying to figure out what is mirror and what is not. All in all a great experience, I only wish we could have spent longer there before it closed to check out more of the ships and aviation sections of the museum. It is a delight for all ages and very educational.

Many pieces I had never even heard of, and yet a small enough collection that I wasn't exhausted after seeing the whole place. The Picasso's came primarily from his later years; and a set of endearing photos of Picasso and his family taken by David Douglas Duncan. And then the floor with other moderns running from the impressionists into painters in the mid-2oth century

I look forward to coming back to enjoy the full museum!

A few tips and tricks for those visiting: They ask you leave your backpacks and purses downstairs in the provided lockers. The elevator system isn't great, and will always stop at the lobby, no matter what you push, so it's a time consuming process to use it. The restrooms look like they should be pull doors, but they're actually push. It's the oddest thing and the honey and I were both tripped up by it. Overall, we both really enjoyed the museum, much more than the famous Prado, and would highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting Zurich, especially if it happens to be a Wednesday.

The best free museum in Zurich, which isn't saying much as most museums charge a fee…read more Place is like the road to Hana, where getting there is a big part of the attraction. The main pedestrian route leading to the museum has 180 stairs next to an uphill cobblestone road. Not sure if the road is wheelchair accessible. You would not want to climb these stairs when covered with ice in the winter! Museum has tons of exhibits on insects, mammals, reptiles, fish, and extinct animals. One exhibit features a full size mastodon of the stone ages, while another shows a modern day narwhal with a huge pole like tusk. Modern day armadillo versus an ancient armadillo ten times as large, the size of a refrigerator. Lots of interactive displays, especially for the insects, with magnifying gasses. To get the most out of it, you have to understand German. Clean and free bathrooms, unlike some places in Switzerland which charge the equivalent of a $1 to use, and a cafeteria. Great views of Zurich and the river from the university where the museum is located. Oh, and make sure the brakes on the wheelchair for granny are functioning, when going downhill on that block long cobblestone road!

I think I would be screaming too if I was a kid and seeing all these huge specimens and models of animals. If you do want some peace and quiet, going to the lower level might be an option. The specimens looks so life like and I did have a "Night in the Museum" moment. Worth dropping by if you need a time out as one cannot eat and drink the whole day!

Whether or not it is truly the largest automobile collection in the world, it is undoubtedly one of the most impressive collections of historic automobiles you'll ever see, particularly from the pre-1900 and early 20th-century eras. The exhibits begin with an extensive display of hood ornaments before leading visitors through the evolution of the automobile. Highlights include rare and beautifully preserved vehicles from manufacturers such as Bugatti, Mercedes-Benz, Maserati, Peugeot, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Renault, and many others. From elegant touring cars and luxury sedans to racing machines and Formula One cars, there is something here for every automotive enthusiast. Plan to spend a half a day exploring the museum, as the collection is enormous and there is far more to see than most visitors expect. Bring a fully charged phone--you'll be taking plenty of photos. The museum is located in Mulhouse. You can take the train or drive as I did from Colmar which is only - 50 minutes drive. It's a great attraction of the Alsace region.

The museum was established in 1849 and opened to the general public in 1853. Sculptures, artworks and the amazing Isenheim Altarpiece by Matthias Grünewald (sculpted and painted in 1512-1516). So many more medieval and historic items to see. Expect your tour to take at least two hours and if it's cold, keep your coat on. Much of the museum is not air conditioned or heated but there are WCs throughout. [Review 21176 overall - 95 in France - 139 of 2024.]

"Give me a museum and I'll fill it." -Pablo Picasso…read more It took a bit to find the galleries that I wanted but once there, wow. This is the art I love to see - impressionists galore! On a Tuesday morning, it was pretty quiet without schoolkids or large groups. There was nothing distracting me from enjoying the art. The exhibit of existentialist Bernard Buffet works was magnificent with a number of his pieces. Andy Warhol considered Buffet the "last great artist of Paris." Beyond that, Cy Twombly, Edgar Degas. Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh (I've never seen "Marguerite Gachet at the Piano" before and the "Self-Portrait with a Japanese Print" was amazing) , Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian, Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse (paintings *and* sculpture!), Alexej Von Jawlensky's "Self-portrait") and more. What museum would be complete without works by Pablo Picasso and Alexander Calder and Salvador Dali? So much to see, so much to enjoy, so much to appreciate. It is one of the greatest art museums in Switzerland and I had a tremendous visit. Gift shop has lots to purchase but the prices for even the smallest prints are very high. I didn't even get a postcard today. [Review 21230 overall - 78 in Switzerland - 195 of 2024.]

My 3 year old daughter and I were the only ones in the place. There were very few things on display. A random mannequin of a woman in 14th century garb holding a fish, some paintings of medieval men and a skeleton are stand outs. I couldn't tell you anything about these pieces because everything is in German. There is also an old wooden sleigh that my daughter believes belonged to Santa Claus. There is a movie with English subtitles which was helpful and gives you the rundown of the city. The museum mostly covers the 1400s, then, randomly, on the 2nd floor there is a whole display with photos of the city during WW2 and Hitler/Nazi rule. It looks more like a celebration of this moment in history. Very strange. What is also strange is I was followed by an employee the entire time I was in the museum. Remember, my 3 year old and I were the only ones there. I am not sure if they thought I was going to take photos of their Nazi shrine or what. In any event, nice way to kill an hour while learning about Konstanz circa the early 1400's. Fun fact, in addition to their weird pride of their time with Hitler, they also love and idolize prostitutes. The cement statue by the lake that slowly spins is actually that of a prostitute or rather, courtesan.
