Kunsthaus Zürich: Maria Lassnig & Edvard Munch Exhibition Entry Ticket

Flexible

Audio guide

The exhibition brings the two artists together in a major exhibition for the first time, despite more than half a century separating their careers.
The exhibition explores the parallels in how both artists used painting to express emotion, bodily sensations, illness, death, nature, and other existential experiences.
Munch’s work focuses strongly on the cycle of life, death, and renewal, while Lassnig is known for her inward-looking “body awareness” paintings, which translate physical sensations and inner states into visual form.
Lassnig regarded Munch as an important artistic reference, so the exhibition places their works side by side to reveal connections in their use of colour, line, composition, and emotional expression.
Enhance your visit with the DE, EN, FR collection audio guide included with online tickets, a free kids version, Wi-Fi, and photos for personal use.

Pro tips to help you make a pick

Choose the collection ticket when the permanent holdings are your priority.

Buy a major-exhibition ticket instead of separate collection admission when you want one current major show, because it already includes the permanent collection and small exhibitions.

If you are visiting on Wednesday mainly for the permanent collection, check whether you need a paid collection ticket at all. The collection is free for everyone on Wednesdays, but major exhibitions may still require paid admission.

Use a Zürich Card for collection access if you already have one; major exhibition admission currently requires a CHF7 surcharge at the museum ticket desk.

Do not rely on the Swiss Travel Pass or Museum Pass for admission, because these passes are not accepted.

Buy online if you want the collection audio guide included. The same guide is available in German, English, and French, but costs CHF4 when the ticket is bought at the desk.

Did you know?

While most associate Edvard Munch strictly with the Munch Museum or National Gallery in Oslo, the Kunsthaus Zürich holds the largest and most significant collection of Munch’s paintings outside of Norway.

The Kunsthaus is the global epicenter for the study of Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti. Rather than simply acquiring his pieces individually over time, the museum became the home base for the Alberto Giacometti-Stiftung in 1965

Unlike many major European museums (like the Louvre) which grew out of aristocratic collections, the Kunsthaus Zürich was built by its citizens. It was established and is still run by the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft (Zurich Art Society), which originated in 1787 as a small private group of artists and passionate amateurs who met to swap and critique art.

Its Dada holdings are described by the museum as the world’s largest collection of objects from the movement.

The museum’s permanent collection covers more than eight centuries rather than beginning with modern art.

Why visit Kunsthaus Zurich?

See the museum's defining Alberto Giacometti holdings

The Alberto Giacometti collection is one of the museum's core strengths and is located on the second floor of the Chipperfield building. It is the world's most important museum collection of his work, spanning sculpture, painting, drawings, and graphics.

Explore Edvard Munch and modern art holdings

The Munch holdings is the largest collection of his paintings outside Norway. In the newer building, visitors can also see the Bührle Collection and the Hubert Looser holdings, which include Abstract Expressionism, Minimal Art, and Arte Povera.

Move between a historic complex and the 2021 Chipperfield extension

The museum is spread across the historic Moser/Müller/Pfister complex and the David Chipperfield extension which opened in 2021. Together they created Switzerland's largest art museum, with different collection groupings in each building rather than one single gallery sequence.

Trace art from Old Masters to contemporary work

The collection stretches from Old Masters and Swiss art to Impressionism, Classical Modernism, Pop Art, Dada, and contemporary work. This range makes it possible to build a visit around one period or move across several centuries and movements in the same museum.

Catch changing Dada displays and temporary exhibitions

The museum holds the world's largest collection of Dada objects, presented through changing displays rather than a single fixed installation. Temporary exhibitions add another layer, with current programming including named major shows such as Vilhelm Hammershøi, Maria Lassnig and Edvard Munch.
