Oaxaca Prime
★★★★★3 months agoSuper cool collection. My favourites include China and Tibet. I quite liked that they have the bodega open for everyone to see. They can however work on their labels and texts as they usually don't contain a lot of useful information. Big building with nice park. If you have the kulturlegi the entrance is free which is cool for the poor people in Zurich. The Indian art was quite funny.

★★★★★5 months agoA unique museum in Zurich focusing on non-European art. The collection is diverse and very well presented, and the combination of historic villas and modern architecture is stunning. The surrounding park makes the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.
