Opening celebration Ausstellungsstrasse

The time has come: On 2 and 3 March the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich will open the doors to its main building on Ausstellungsstrasse 60 in Zurich again. After renovation work lasting
three years this listed building, a key work of the “Neues Bauen” movement in Switzerland, now gleams with a new splendor and with its original dignity.

The new rooms offer a variety of different facets of design and visual communication: they include the hall, its two-story character now restored, where the opening show features the
work of atelier oï, the design studio from Western Switzerland, as well as the new Swiss Design Lounge, the generous atelier for education and its workshops, the expanded shop area and the established café. And, for the first time ever, more than 2000 highlights from the collection, which is now around 150 years old, are on permanent display and await discovery.
