Agenda

The Museum of Design (Museum für Gestaltung )Zürich is dedicating its second exhibition at the refurbished Pavillon Le Corbusier to the relationship between the Swiss architect of the century and the city of Zurich, which was an important point of reference for his work between 1915 and 1965.  Zurich became the most important platform for Le Corbusier’s international reputation. With works of art, furniture, architectural models, photographs and historical documents, the exhibition clearly shows the central role that Zurich and Paris played in Le Corbusier’s multifaceted oeuvre.

The exhibition shows how Canadian painters discovered Impressionism in France at the end of the 19th century and how they reacted to this development. On their return to Canada, many of these artists gave an essential impulse to the rise of modern Canadian painting. The exhibition presents 35 Canadian artists, many of whom remained unknown outside the borders of their country. The works in this exhibition are grouped into eight sections that follow the careers of these painters, from their introduction to Impressionism to their interpretation and presentation of Canadian aspects.

The exhibition shows the fascinating and mysterious world of night insects. The big firefly, the animal of the year 2019, but also beautiful moths, mosquitoes, grasshoppers and crickets invite you to discover this little-known universe. The interactive and playful exhibition about insects and their importance for our ecosystem shows night insects in a new light.
