On eMuseum.ch, the largest Swiss online database for design and art, the museum provides an insight into its collection holdings. Interested academics, curators, designers and collectors can either search and filter over 150,000 works by author, title, date, category or object name or browse the collections by keyword.

Under In Focus, we regularly curate a selection of objects on current topics.

eFont font platform

One of the focal points of the collecting activities of the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich is applied typography, along with the sub-discipline of type design. Numerous examples of typeface applications can be found in the Graphics and Poster collections, while the Graphics Collection also holds typeface samples and designs by well-known designers such as Adrian Frutiger and Walter F. Haettenschweiler. In collaboration with Zurich University of the Arts / Visual Communication, individual analogue fonts are now being digitized and published on eFont.ch to give users contemporary and dynamic access to them.

The number of characters shown for each font is limited, and the fonts are not available for purchase at this time. The website eFont.ch serves exclusively to display our holdings.
