History

Kunsthaus Zürich, (German: “Zurich Art House”), museum of art in Zürich, established in 1787 and, since 1910, occupying a building designed by Karl Moser. It houses a varied collection of European painting from the Renaissance to modern periods, along with sculpture, drawings, and prints. The museum specializes in German medieval paintings and wood and stone sculpture, as well as later paintings by Zürich-area artists. It features the works of the noted Swiss artists Henry Fuseli and Alberto Giacometti.
