Löwenbräukunst-Areal – Art Center

Anyone traveling along Limmatstrasse by tram will see a long brick building by the “Löwenbräu” stop, towered over by modern office blocks and high-rise apartment buildings. “Löwenbräukunst” is written in capitals on the facade. It was here in the historic area surrounding a former brewery that a center for modern and contemporary art was opened in the 1990s, serving as a counterpoint to Zurich’s conservative culture scene.
