Installation "Wintergarten"

As part of this year’s Zurich Design Weeks, we are presenting "Wintergarten", a walk-through outdoor installation situated between the garden and the museum entrance. To coincide with the opening of the exhibition ‘Renaming – People, Things, Places’, ‘Wintergarten’ invites visitors to question practices of naming and categorisation within the museum, as well as established forms of perception and knowledge production.

Pre-opening on 3 September 2026, 6 pm.
