The latest exhibition highlights in Switzerland

2025 is the year for major special exhibitions! Join moments on an artistic journey from avant-garde and feminist art to architectural milestones.

Colourful, expressive, introspective and political – this year, museums and galleries in Switzerland will again inspire visitors with a wide range of exhibitions.

Premiere at the Kunsthaus Zürich: Suzanne Duchamp

A look at Zurich, the birthplace of Dadaism. Where better to hold a retrospective of the French Dadaist Suzanne Duchamp than at the Kunsthaus Zürich? With her last major exhibition taking place over 40 years ago, it is high time that her work was showcased again. She was last featured in a major exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 1983. Now, the Kunsthaus Zürich is dedicating a comprehensive retrospective to her from 6 June to 7 September 2025. Suzanne Duchamp was an artist who refused to bow to convention; in addition to her Dadaist works, by 1922 she was also devoting herself to figurative painting. Visitors can look forward to a diverse exhibition.

From 6 June to 7 September 2025 at the Kunsthaus Zürich

In the mind of Le Corbusier

To mark its 20th anniversary, the Zentrum Paul Klee is transforming itself into a meeting place for fans of art and architecture alike. The museum is dedicating a major special exhibition to the world-renowned Swiss-French architect, artist and urban planner Le Corbusier. His buildings continue to inspire to this day and some of them have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites since 2016. But even massive concrete and steel structures start out as sketches on paper and before that as ideas in the mind of the architect. Le Corbusier. The Order of Things offers insights into the visionary’s creative thinking. On display are iconic works as well as rare designs, sketches and objects that reflect his vision of an ordered, functional world.

8 February to 22 June 2025 at the Zentrum Paul Klee

Nothing is off limits for Carol Rama

From 7 March to 13 July 2025, the Museum of Fine Arts Bern is dedicating a major retrospective to the avant-gardist Carol Rama. Carol Rama: A Rebel of Modernity presents her 70-year career with around 110 works. She encountered social taboos for the first time during her childhood when her parents were admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

As a result, she developed an attitude of resistance to social norms and constraints at an early age, later incorporating this into her art. Rama shows what others shy away from: sexuality, madness, illness and death. Although Rama – like many avant-garde artists – was not widely recognised until much later, her work is now considered a milestone in feminist avant-garde art.

7 March to 13 July 2025 at the Kunstmuseum Bern

Medardo Rosso – modern sculpture

Photographer, rival to Auguste Rodin, master of artistic staging, and a revolutionary in the field of sculpture around the year 1900: the Italian-French artist Medardo Rosso is not nearly as well-known as he should be, despite his great influence. The exhibition hosted by the Kunstmuseum Basel and entitled ​‘Inventing Modern Sculpture’ is a comprehensive retrospective featuring around 50 sculptures and 250 photographs and drawings. It offers an overview of his impressive works, his influence in Milan and Paris around the turn of the century, and the contemporary significance of his art.

From 29 March 2025 to 10 August 2025 at the Kunstmuseum Basel
