The German industrialist, Emil Bührle, made Zurich his home in the Twenties. He was an avid collector of works of art: antiquities, religious sculpture, 18 and 19C paintings and, in particular, Impressionist and Postimpressionist paintings, which were his favourites. Works by Monet, Pissaro, Manet, Sisley, Picasso, Braque are among the exhibits.
