Museum of Design

Not really worth your time - the main collection is located in a tiny room in the basement where you have to move the metallic drawers to see the exhibits.

The real magic happens when you think you're done and you go to the basement level : endless drawers full of Swiss type, poster, illustration, branding, and packaging design. I spent a few hours looking at every single one of them.

The shop is also amazing as they sell the cutest tote bag I've ever had in my life and huge posters which you cannot miss. I even went back there on my last day in Zurich to buy one more...
