Rietberg Museum

The Zurich Rietberg Museum is a museum of non-European art in Zurich, Switzerland. The museum is located in the Rietberg Park, on the grounds of the former villa of banker Emil Georg Bührle. The Zurich Rietberg Museum was founded in 1895 by the Swiss art collector and patron Emil Georg Bührle as the " ethnological collection of the city of Zurich ". Bührle donated his collection of Southeast Asian, African, and Oceanian art to the city of Zurich in 1895, and the museum was opened later that year in the villa of banker Emil Georg Bührle. The museum was renamed the "Zurich Rietberg Museum" in 1952, in honor of the museum's founder. Today, the Zurich Rietberg Museum is one of the leading museums of non-European art in the world, with a collection of more than 100,000 objects from Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas. The museum's collection is divided into five collections: the African Collection, the Asian Collection, the Oceanian Collection, the American Collection, and the Islamic Collection. The Zurich Rietberg Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10am to 5pm. Admission is free for children and students, and CHF 15 for adults.
