ArtA typical feature of Zürich is its high density of art galleries; along the Rämistrasse "art mile", the galleries are just a few minutes’ walk apart, while in the former grounds of the Löwenbrau brewery, they are even next door to each other. The reopening of the Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich’s Old Town in October 2004, after having being closed for 90 years, marked the beginning of a brand new Dada era. Nowadays, the Dadahaus, with its exhibitions, events and bar, as well as its small specialist lending library, is open to the public; in this vibrant cultural center, bridges are built between Dada and modern social and cultural trends. Some fourteen of Zürich's 50 museums are devoted to art. |
