Kunsthaus Zurich

Discover Vilhelm Hammershøi's atmospheric interiors at Kunsthaus Zürich in the first comprehensive exhibition of his work in Switzerland.

Arrive at Kunsthaus Zürich, use your ticket for entry, then head to the Vilhelm Hammershøi galleries and explore with the included audio guide.

Your ticket covers the dedicated exhibition plus access to Kunsthaus Zürich's wider collection and small shows spanning different eras and styles.

Wander through quiet rooms, closed doors and figures seen from behind, where Hammershøi's muted colors and shifting light create meditative calm.

Finish in Refik Anadol's Glacier Dreams and Pipilotti Rist's Pixelwald Turicum, immersive installations of AI visuals, light, color and sound.

The exhibition brings the two artists together in a major exhibition for the first time, despite more than half a century separating their careers.

The exhibition explores the parallels in how both artists used painting to express emotion, bodily sensations, illness, death, nature, and other existential experiences.

Munch’s work focuses strongly on the cycle of life, death, and renewal, while Lassnig is known for her inward-looking “body awareness” paintings, which translate physical sensations and inner states into visual form.

Lassnig regarded Munch as an important artistic reference, so the exhibition places their works side by side to reveal connections in their use of colour, line, composition, and emotional expression.
