Kunsthaus Zurich is one of Europe’s top art museums. Its history back to a society of artists founded in 1787. While it has large collections of works by several artists – more paintings by Charles Munch than any other museum outside of Oslo and Europe’s most important collection of Monet’s works outside of Paris – the emphasis has always been on showing the highest quality works by an artist over the largest quantity.
Kunsthaus Zurich is especially strong in Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and Modern schools. Beginning with the forerunners and early Impressionists Delacroix, Corot, Courbet, and Manet. Two of the most beautiful of the large water lily canvases are at the center of the Monet exhibit. Many artists artwork is displayed in this museum. Such as Van Gogh, Cézanne and Marc Chagall.
