Museum Rietberg 

L’incantevole Rieterpark e le sue ville storiche rappresentano lo sfondo ideale per l’arte proveniente dall’Asia, dall’Africa, dall’America e dall’Oceania. Il Rietberg è un museo chiaramente configurato, che espone opere artistiche di altissima qualità. Le sculture di fama mondiale che Eduard Baron von der Heydt ha donato alla città di Zurigo nel 1952 costituiscono il nucleo delle collezioni permanenti nella villa Wesendonck. Nella villa Rieter, il museo presenta capolavori scelti della pittura indiana, cinese e giapponese dalla collezione propria. L’Haus zum Kiel accoglie esposizioni speciali minori di arte extraeuropea.
