Completed in 1898, the Landesmuseum Zürich was built in the historicist style as a castle-like building to plans by Swiss architect Gustav Gull. #architecture #museum
The building was designed so that entire historically important rooms from all over #Switzerland could be dismantled and reinstalled inside the museum. Two examples are a room from Casa Pestalozzi in Chiavenna dating back to 1585 and the baroque hall from the "Langen Stadelhof" house built in 1667
The new extension building by the Basel architects Christ & Gantenbein was inaugurated in 2016. Connecting two wings of the Gustav Gull building, the extension makes it possible for the first time to make a round tour of the entire museum. #architecture #photography #zurich
Circular windows in the long staircase allow views of the Gustav Gull building and the park landscape outside.
