Birthplace of Dada and home to artists Fischli & Weiss, Zurich is doubtless Switzerland's cultural center. Renown as a financial center, Zurich has steadily emerged as a thriving cultural hub. With Basel veterans and avant garde kunsthalles side by side, Zurich oozes old school charm and new world cool. The Löwenbrau complex, a former brewery and and warehouse, represents the vanguard of Zurich's pioneering art institutions, while young artists have also flocked to the city bringing an international mix to the city's culture.
