Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst Reviews | Rating 3.9 out of 5 stars (8 reviews)

Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst is located in Zürich, Switzerland on Limmatstrasse 270. Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst is rated 3.9 out of 5 in the category art museum in Switzerland. Seit 1996 setzt sich das Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst für die Produktion, das Ausstellen, Sammeln und Vermitteln internationaler zeitgenössischer Kunst ein. Es präsentiert auf zwei Stockwerken wechselnde Einzel- und Gruppenausstellungen sowie Werke aus der eigenen Sammlung. Das international renommierte Museum versteht sich als dynamischer Ort für das zeitgenössische Kunstschaffen, dazu trägt auch das umfangreiche Vermittlungs- und Rahmenprogramm bei. Für seine Ausstellungen setzt das Museum auf grosse Produktionen in enger Zusammenarbeit mit den Künstlern. Der Begriff der Gegenwartskunst wird dabei als eine dynamische zeitliche Bestimmung verstanden, der ein permanentes Ausloten zwischen Vorwärts- und Zurückschauen eigen ist. Zugleich impliziert der Begriff die Einbettung in einen gesellschaftlichen Kontext und Teilhabe an einem Prozess des Austauschs und der Produktion von Kunst. Die Ausstellungen im Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst formulieren Kunstgeschichte als einen beweglichen Prozess, der offen ist für Überprüfungen, Korrekturen und Variationen. Die Einbindung der Sammlung in ein lebendiges Umfeld, das die zeitgenössische Kunstproduktion berührt, fördert und sich an ein aufgeschlossenes Publikum richtet, ist ein weiteres Anliegen des Museums.

Great to see that Zurich has a beautiful contemporary art space I thought I could only find in Paris, London or New York. Thoughtful, provoking and fun. Elegant architecture. The annual subscription is very much affordable. My new preferred cultural venue when Covid makes cinemas and theaters less attractive.

No signs outside. A bit puzzling the name on the building says Löwenbräu. Rather small place. Hip neighborhood though.

Be sure to check what the exhibitions are before you go as there is no permanent collection and the current exhibitions are trash. 20 CHF and even if you love the exhibitions the space is so small it would be really difficult to spend more than an hour there. Super disappointing - literally the worst modern art museum I've ever been to.

Maybe I don't get this kind of art but for me the museum seemed pretty empty and I did not get the art behind it. Maybe I am just ignorant, I don't know but for me not worth the Money.

Spacious but small museum. Two floors with exhibitions. There is an elevator. It offers really nice programms for families with kids, as either drawings based on impressions from visited exhibitions, or investigation game, where kids are given some keys and have to solver small mysteries about e.g. works in exhibition. Main museum entrance is not barrier free, and actually has quite steep stairs. Museum's web site says that there is an alternative entrance with ramps/elevator but I couldn't find it.

Found this experience very disappointing for a paid, national museum. No backpacks or prams were allowed in but were only told once we went to enter (would have been helpful to know at the ticket desk). I was not permitted to even take a bottle of water in which was strange and for parents with small children the no-pram thing made things difficult. Lockers were downstairs, very busy and require 1CH coin deposit. Despite having a map our group of 5 had trouble navigating and there didn't seem to be an intuitive flow. We enjoyed the scale models of the Swiss landscapes the best, and though it took a long time to finally find our way, the animal area at the very end had a few interactive things for kids (but not much before then for kids under 5).
