Art lovers traveling to the city should plan to stay at a budget hotel near the Kunsthaus Zürich in order to have easy access to this famous art museum. Originally opened in 1920 the building itself is rather like a very large house from the exterior, however inside is an amazing collection of historical and more modern Swiss art. Dutch, Flemish and Italian style baroque collections can be found at the museum, as are the classical Swiss collections. The museum is open most days however it is closed on Mondays, so be sure to check schedules for the correct hours.
Guests staying at the nearby cheap hotels to the Kunsthaus Zürich will be able to walk to the museum, however there is also a train station just beside the building. The building also is home to an extensive art library as well as collections of sculptures and other both historical and modern art forms. An exhibition on photography is housed within the museum, featuring visual art representations in photography rather than documentary style works.
