Davos: Kirchner Museum |

| The German expressionist

and spent the rest of his life in the Swiss mountains. The museum in Davos, built by the young Swiss architects Annette Gigon and Mike Guyer, has a splendid collection of Kirchner paintings and drawings as well as regular special exhibits. Davos is 2 h 40 min. from Zurich airport. » www.kirchnermuseum.ch |
