Swiss National Museum, Zurich
Highlight • Historical Site
The 19th century is generally considered the century of nations and nation-states. While the construction of memorials, monuments, and institutions progressed rapidly in other European countries, the young federal state of Switzerland was reluctant to consider a national museum. Such an undertaking aroused skepticism. There were also very pragmatic reasons: almost every canton possessed its own collections, reflecting the federalist nature of the young nation-state. It was Zurich National Councilor Salomon Vögelin who initiated the discussion about its establishment in 1883, inspired by the success of the national art exhibition at the Swiss National Exhibition in Zurich.
After fierce disputes over the location, Zurich prevailed over Lucerne, Basel, and Bern in 1891. The young architect Gustav Gull utilizes various historicizing architectural elements from the late Middle Ages and the modern era: The Swiss National Museum was intended to be a creative unity between collection, exhibition, and architecture. The combination of the museum and the School of Applied Arts fulfills another important principle: to connect schools of applied arts with museums so that the past can serve as a model and inspiration for the students' work. Today, the National Museum Zurich is considered an exceptional 19th-century museum building and a monument of national importance.
Opened in 2016, the new building by the Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein perfectly complements Gustav Gull's building wing. It houses large, flexible exhibition halls, a modern library, and an auditorium for public events.
