For years, collectors, curators, and critics en route to Art Basel would often arrive to Switzerland a bit early to catch the latest on view in Zurich’s vibrant gallery scene. That custom was formalized with the launch of Zurich Art Weekend in 2018.
This year, there are exhibitions on view at some 60 galleries, museums, and alternative spaces across the city, with several shows running deep into the summer months. While that might sound overwhelming, the weekend’s guidebook includes nine suggested walking routes that group together nearby venues so visitors know what else to check out in each neighborhood.
