The Centre Le Corbusier stands on Höschgasse in Zurich, in the Switzerland of Europe, at number 8 on that street in the 8008 postal district. It is also known as the Corbusier Museum or Le Corbusier House, and it is the last building designed by the architect Le Corbusier.
What you will find
Today the building is a museum devoted to the architect's work and life. Its most striking feature is its colourful glass facades, which give the building a lively presence in its setting. Inside, the museum hosts exhibitions of modern art and design, so a visit can be as much about the ideas of the period as about one man's architecture.
Who it suits
- Visitors interested in modern architecture and the work of Le Corbusier
- Those curious about how modern art and design are shown in a museum setting
- Travellers who want a focused stop rather than a large collection
Because the building itself is the work of the architect it honours, the visit offers a direct way to see how his later ideas took form. Exhibitions change over time, so what you see on any given day may differ from one visit to the next.
Planning your visit
The museum is in Zurich, a city with a long tradition of art, museums and good public transport, so it is easy to combine with other sights in the centre. For current opening times, admission and exhibition details, you can call the museum on +41 44 383 53 10 before you go.
