Kunsthaus Zurich boasts its excellent collection in Western art history. I spent 3-4 hours watching the latest exhibition (the opening of newly designed hall as Kunsthaus extension project) and finest collection. The museum was just great in its rich collection, architecture, interior, design, services and assistance to visitor. In addition the quietness and peacefulness is noteworthy. And yet it is friendly and cheerful. I have been as happy as could be, when facing Paul Cezanne's "The boy in the red vest", or looking at David Chipperfield's architectural model of the new hall, and gazing at Manet, Van Gogh, Piccaso, Rembrandt, Rodin, Lichtenstein, Giacometti, Dali, Lautrec, Miro, Braque, Cezanne and more. When I found Amedee Ozenfant's work I was overwhelmed by the delight, because that was the first time to see the paining with my own eyes, and the artist meant much to me as I had been respecting Le Corbusier since I was a teenager. Ozenfant and Corbusier together set up a Purism movement and published an art/design/style magazine "L'esprit Nouveau". I studied all these things when I chose Corbusier as my topic of graduation thesis, but never had an opportunity to see the Purism paintings. For that reason the visit to the museum became especially memorable.
There are indeed lots of great interior design zurich - be it schools and architects themselves.
