Traveler reviews
G B
★★★★★a year agoIt's only temporary exhibitions, so of course some will resonate more than others. The biggest issue is the tiny size - comics are huddled together, so it's hard to read anything because there are always other guests in the way. You're likely to be finished in 15-30 minutes.

★★★★★3 years agoI visited while the Chris Ware exhibit was up and really enjoyed it! 12 CHF for an adult ticket and it was worth the money. It was great to see how many different topics of life and events are covered through Chris Ware’s work.
