Swiss Art

An insider recommends the 44 unmissable museums, galleries and art fairs in Switzerland

Switzerland is one of the leading destinations for modern and contemporary art. Swiss Art’s insider recommendations take you to the best. From masterpieces to unknown gems, this portable book guides readers to stunning small collections in the Alps and world-class exhibits in more than a dozen cities.

With more than 70 color photos to give you a taste of what’s to come, Swiss Art will inspire your next art tour through the world’s favorite postcard country. And Swiss-Canadian writer Katrin Gygax highlights not only the best and most unforgettable, but also what makes a visit fun: the story behind the collections, the secret surprises, and, of course, the best snacks, treats and tips. The book, which includes practical information to make every visit a success, is for any art lover who can’t stop exploring.
