C.G. Jung House Museum — Attraction in Küsnacht (ZH)

Last week, on a day-trip from London, I took the fascinating tour of the Jungs' beautiful and atmospheric home on Lake Zurich. It was a wonderful and unique experience of a uniquely significant couple, and I am deeply grateful to the Jung family, who still live there, for making this possible. The aesthetic imagination (often overlooked in Jung's work) of the house is wonderful down to its smallest details - such as the zodiacal signs carved (by Emma Jung, I believe) onto the tiled stove, and the beautiful art nouveau tap, with its multiple streams of water, in the basin by the hallway.

Thank you for an...

Even though the ladies that run the museum were sweet, the tour was suerficial and full of mundane details and I missed a connection to his career. The guide was familiar with details from his personal life but there wasn't an added value regarding his professional achievements. The tour lasted for one hour but there was no time to wonder around afterwards and let the impressions sink in. Once the tour was finished it was expected of the visitors to immediately leave. Given the extremely high price (the national museum of Zurich is 10 franks and this is double!) that really left me with a...
