Museum for Asian, African Art in Zurich, Switzerland
The Museum Rietberg reflects the cosmopolitan spirit of the City of Zurich
Since its establishment in 1952, the Museum Rietberg displays masterworks from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania. Special exhibitions focussing on these cultures are the core of its worldwide acclaim.
After a stroll through the serene Rieter Park, with a view of the city and the Alps, enjoy the museum with its enchanting interplay of old and new: the historic mansions recount their stories ‚ Richard Wagner wrote Tristan and Isolde here; while the new glass pavilion, the Emerald, marks the entrance to the modern underground extension.
