The National Museum Zurich's expansion, opened in July 2016, complements the original 1898 building by Gustav Gull. The new wing, next to Platzspitz Park, integrates with the historical structure to form a unified ensemble. It includes flexible exhibition spaces, a library, and an auditorium, with a central bridge motif linking the courtyard and park. The design blends old and new, using thick walls and tuff concrete to mirror the original facade while meeting modern insulation standards. The refurbishment also updated the main entrance and visitor facilities, adding open-air dining to enhance the museum's urban appeal. Dive into The Panorama of the Swiss National Museum!
