Migros Museum of Contemporary Art

The Migros Museum of Contemporary Art is an art museum in Zürich dedicated to contemporary artistic work that occupies space across multiple levels. The venue hosts rotating exhibitions featuring painting, sculpture, photography, and video installations.

The museum grew from an earlier gallery dedicated to new international art that was established in the 1990s and later became the institution it is today. Its development was supported by a cultural funding initiative that directed resources from a cooperative toward art projects.

The museum presents works by contemporary artists from around the world through rotating exhibitions that showcase different artistic approaches. The collection reflects current creative conversations and invites visitors to encounter new perspectives on art today.

The museum is housed in a conveniently located building in the city center and is easily reached by public transportation. A visit is accessible to people of all backgrounds, as exhibitions are supported by clear signage and information.

The museum benefits from an unusual funding model where a portion of revenue from a major retail cooperative is dedicated to supporting cultural projects across the country. This makes it a remarkable example of corporate investment in art.
