About
Gyors tények: Stepping into the sunlit galleries, you'll encounter an unusually concentrated collection of Swiss modern and contemporary art with standout works by Giacometti and Ferdinand Hodler that reward close looking. A striking rooftop extension adds airy exhibition space and unexpected sightlines, while ever-rotating shows pair video, sculpture, and historic painting in inventive juxtapositions.
Kiemelkedő helyek: After the 2021 David Chipperfield expansion there is a serene, low-lit concrete gallery where a cluster of Giacometti sculptures sit a mere arm's length from Picasso canvases, so you can actually make out charcoal flecks and individual brush hairs. On slow afternoons a guard will often unroll a single archival drawing for a small group, whispering its provenance while sunlight from a high skylight dusts the paper, turning a standard visit into a tiny secret salon.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries span several floors and the route can be long.
- Take photos for personal use without flash where signage allows, and ask staff when in doubt.
- Buy timed-entry tickets online for popular temporary exhibitions to avoid queues.
- Start on the upper floors and work down if you prefer a less crowded, chronological route.
