Zurich Budget Hotels

The Kunsthaus. The Kunsthaus is one of the most interesting museums in Zurich. It yields to no one of the museums in big cities: the exhibitions of the Tate Modern (London) were developed by the Kunsthaus or belonged to it. The permanent exposition of the museum includes the rich collection of Munch's, Monet's, Van Gogh's and sculptures by Rodin. Besides that, the museum gives an opportunity to learn something about the Swiss art, starting with the patriotic works of the 19th century by Ferdinand Hodler and ending by modern joyful installations by Fischli & Weiss. Fischli & Weiss promised to bring an action against the advertising agency, which created the famous Honda advertising video clip about the in series moving details, because they found it similar to their film 'The Way Things Go' (1987).

The Opera House. The Zurich Opera House was the first electrically lit opera house in Europe. The neo-baroque building was created in 1891 near the lake on 1800 oak piles. It was unveiled with the 'Lohengrin' by Wilhelm Richard Wagner. Since 1996 the Zurich ballet is managed by Heinz Spoerli, one of the greatest choreographers of our time. The art director of the opera house is Alexander Pereyra, who is a very important figure. As a rule, 15 of 50 staging are premieres. This way the Zurich Opera House offers the visitor the largest number of premieres in Europe.
