Pavillon Le Corbusier

The Pavillon Le Corbusier on Lake Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland, is the last masterpiece of the renowned architect and his only building made of steel and glass. Since 2019, the pavilion has been run as a public museum by the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich on behalf of the City of Zurich. During the summer months, it invites visitors to take a unique architectural promenade through its various floors and to experience the architectural excellence of Le Corbusier. Every year, a new temporary exhibition is presented that focuses on the various facets of Le Corbusier's work.

Families and Kids

The Pavillon Le Corbusier offers families a hands-on table for self-design as well as 'Ma Promenade', an architecture trail for young people aged 9 and over. Children of pre-school age must be supervised by adults at all times. Baby carriages are not permitted due to lack of space.
