Museum Rietberg

Museum is nice. Park is great and free. Museum Rietberg is dedicated to non-European art and is composed of several historic villas. The main building, Villa Wesendonck, was built in 1857 in a neoclassical style. In 1949, the city of Zürich acquired the estate and transformed it into a museum. Additional historic buildings were incorporated: Villa Rieter, an 1857 neo-renaissance residence, and Remise, the former coach house.

This is an excellent museum and an absolute must-see. Housing artifacts from around the (non-European) world it is particularly strong on China, Japan, and South Asia. I was blown away by its collection of early Chinese ceramic-ware, for instance. As well as the main collections don't miss the "visible storage" in the sub-basement, a treasure store simply packed with amazing works. Also has an excellent cafe and nice park around the museum.

One of my favourite museums! Located in famous villa with splendid park with lake view and charming collection of eastern art. Dont forget to go to -1 floor to attend the storage of masks and statuettes-unforgettable feeling to spend time there!

A museum full of interesting artifacts from around the world. It is spread out over a number of buildings. It is surrounded by parkland, and you get some wonderful views over Zurich. You require a ticket to enter. You can get free entry if you have a Zurich Card, though you need to remember to show it as they do not ask. Children and adolescents also get free entry. The sign posting for the buildings is a bit rubbish. Access to the Smaragd section is at the back of the ticket area. You use the lift to travel down. This section has some wonderful exhibits. Partway through the room, there was a chair with a book, in English, about the exhibits. There is a souvenir shop, though it is very expensive. Leaving this building, you cross straight over to the villa opposite. This contains the cafe and further exhibits upstairs. The cafe had a good range of food, which was delicious, though a bit pricey. There were toilets in both buildings. These were clean. There were disabled toilets. There are exhibits in other buildings, but you need to walk through the park to access these. There is disabled parking next to 'The Coach House'. You can borrow wheelchairs from the Smaragd building. Portable stools are also available. There are two areas that are not accessible to wheelchairs, the Japanese tearoom and the Atelier.

Amazing park around for a picnic Nice coffee place next to the museum with fresh bakery And museum itself very interesting with changing exhibitions and permanent collections. Highly recommending

I was positively surprised by the amount of precious objects in the collection! The museum has also a very nice garden.

What a marvelous place to go for a walk in the garden, have a coffee in the Cafe, enjoy a peaceful Japanese tea ceremony and get indulged with art. My new favorite art place on the south of Zürich.

One of the most underestimated museums in Zurich. A wonderful collection divided into several parts: China, Japan, India, Africa, Latin America and Polynesia. Very educational for both adults and children. I especially draw attention to the fact that until the end of 2024 the entrance to the museum is free. There is a very nice cafe in the museum.

The Rietberg Museum is a real must while in Zurich. I am really happy to have visited it. The museum is huge and is separated into three different buildings, each of them obviously hosting a different type of exhibition. What makes this museum even more interesting is that the exhibition only contain non-European art. So what you mainly see here is art from Asia. There are also many objects from Africa, mainly wooden statues. In the Villa Wesendork you get to visit a lovely exhibition from Southeast Asia, which really impressed me. The museum lies on a hill and is accessible by tram no 7

My favorite Museum for the experience of the Ancient ones: Culture and Spirituality from around the world in beautiful surroundings. great place to meditate with the Buddhas or take a contemplative walk in the park :-)
