Alberto Giacometti Exhibition Launched In Zurich

This exhibition will run until next autumn and marks the start of a larger project. From autumn, the comparatively small exhibition will be extended to four rooms.

Previously, they were housed in the so-called Müller Building of the Kunsthaus. As the Kunsthaus itself writes, the institution is home to“the world's most important museum collection of works” by the artist of the century on permanent loan from the Alberto Giacometti Foundation.
