A gift in your will

Thank you for thinking of the Kunsthaus Zürich. Every gift we receive helps secure our future, showing, sharing, celebrating and preserving great art. A bequest is a wonderful way to remember beautiful moments at Kunsthaus after taking care of family and friends. Every gift makes a difference and is deeply appreciated.

You can determine the use of your legacy gift. It tends to be best for all parties involved if the purpose is defined after a conversation with the Kunsthaus’ leadership. We would be happy to discuss any aspect of leaving a legacy gift with you.

If you decide to support the Kunsthaus Zürich, please name Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, Winkelwiese 4, 8001 Zurich, as the beneficiary. Legacy gifts to the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft are tax-exempt.
