Museum of Design ZurichKnown for sophisticated designs such as the internationally
recognised symbol of the Red Cross, it is no wonder that
Switzerland has a museum dedicated solely to design. With three
separate collections, visitors can indulge in the modish designs of
the Poster Collection, Design Collection and Graphic Collection,
spanning the past century or visit one of the temporary exhibits
where works of acclaimed industrial designers, photographers,
graphic artists and architects are regularly shown. Designed by the
progressive Swiss architects Adolf Steger and Karl Egender as a
Functionalist manifesto, the Museum of Design Zurich is a great
example of modern architecture in Switzerland and is a gallery not
to be missed. Address: Ausstellungsstrasse 60 Website: www.museum-gestaltung.ch Telephone: 043 446 6767 Transportation: Tram 4 or 13 to tram stop Museum Gestaltung or five
