The lobby is very nice, and it's free entry just to sit around and enjoy the lobby which already has nice, colorful artwork to admire. My sister actually joined me in here with my niece and my niece enjoyed being breastfed with the beautiful artwork around her haha. The gift shop is also nice but of course pricey. I look forward to coming back to enjoy the full museum!

Kunsthaus Zürich is free on Wednesdays, for those who are looking at visiting, and it just happened…read moreto be the day we were in town. 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 depth and breadth of the museum's collection of artifacts is as impressive as the stunning and voluminous collection of landmark posters. The furniture area was also very cool. It's also one of the least-expensive thing you'll do in Zürich. Yes, it isn't a huge museum, but the entrance price is ultra-reasonable, with discounts for students and seniors.

This is a small but worthwhile museum to visit, especially if you're a fan of design. When I was…read morethere they had exhibits about skyscrapers and a retrospective of a fashion illustrator. Their gift shop was more like a gift "counter," but I liked their selection of merchandise. I guess it's also a school, which explained the "school-like" rest of the building. I spent a pleasant few hours perusing the exhibits and exploring the grounds of the museum as well as the funky surrounding neighborhood.

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!

Free is good, especially when you are in Zurich…read more Zoologisches Museum was nice and quiet on a Thursday afternoon. Sure there were the usual tourists with their screaming kids. 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!

Located in the basement of a fancy Swiss watch store, this museum delivers a lot of information for being so small. You enter and get an iPad after you put your coat in a locker.

The…read moremuseum is huge and is separated into three different buildings, each of them obviously hosting a different type of exhibition. What makes this museum even more interesting is that the exhibition only contain non-European art. So what you mainly see here is art from Asia. There are also many objects from Africa, mainly wooden statues. In the Villa Wesendork you get to visit a lovely exhibition from Southeast Asia, which really impressed me. The museum lies on a hill and is accessible by tram no 7

The most unfriendly "museum" staff I have ever encountered. We went for a photography exhibition…read more The space is rather large and stark white, perfect for a photography exhibition. There were literally four other individuals viewing the exhibition so it was not crowded. We were immediately accosted by a gruff female employee who demanded that one of us stay outside of the exhibition space with our toddler who was sleeping in her stroller. There were no signs stating that toddlers or strollers werent allowed. As we have lived here long enough to know how to deal with the rude and pushy swiss german we firmly told her "NO!" And continued on our way. She evil eyed us as we left but didn't dare try stating anything else. I won't go back.
