Detailed information on the accessibility of the location:

The listed building on Ausstellungsstrasse is one of the outstanding examples of Swiss modernist architecture. Since spring 2018, the building designed by Adolf Steger and Karl Egender in the 1930s has shone in new splendor following extensive renovation: the exhibition hall with its characteristic pillars has been restored to its original two-storey state. The basement houses two new exhibition rooms.

The museum café on Ausstellungsstrasse offers a seasonal and regional range of fresh food and drinks. When the weather is nice, you can also enjoy it outside on the terrace overlooking the pond.

The café is open during the museum's opening hours.

In addition to posters and books, time-honored classics, unique pieces, and stylish souvenirs are also available. We also carry a constantly changing selection of limited editions and products from the current exhibitions. Visit us and be inspired!

The shop is open during the museum's opening hours.

Posters, publications, and selected editions may also be ordered online.

The spacious education studio on the second floor offers a varied program for all age groups. Here, visitors can gain exciting insights into various design topics and are invited to discuss, experiment and get creative themselves. The studio provides inspiring materials to stimulate their own ideas and creative processes.

Are you looking for a stylish location for a photo shoot or your next event? The versatile rooms in the main building on Ausstellungsstrasse can be rented.
