Volkshaus, Music venue in Zürich, Switzerland
Volkshaus is a music venue with a concert hall seating roughly 1200 people in central Zurich. The main hall accommodates diverse performances and is complemented by a restaurant and bar within the same building.
Construction began in 1909 and the doors opened to the public in 1910 with Art Nouveau features throughout. From the start it served as a gathering place for musical performances and community events.
The venue takes its name from a social concept aimed at making art accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy. Today this principle still shapes the programming and draws a diverse crowd from across the city.
The venue is easily accessible and located at Stauffacherstrasse 60 with good public transport connections. The official website offers current information about events and practical details for visitors.
The building showcases Art Nouveau style with curved lines and organic forms characteristic of the period. These architectural details shape its appearance and make it stand out among neighboring structures.
