On January 21, 2026, Kunsthaus Zürich reported 539,953 visitors for 2025, placing the year among the strongest in museum history. The Marina Abramović retrospective recorded 59,490 visitors in 2025 as part of a total 118,903, while the permanent collection attracted 363,588 visitors. Education programs reached 10,463 children and youth through 516 events, and two public commissions by Jeffrey Gibson and Monster Chetwynd drew additional footfall without requiring admission.
The Signal
Rising international attendance from the United States, Middle East and Asia, together with a 226 percent increase in Zürich Card redemptions, signals stronger global positioning for the institution. A visitor survey of more than 3,900 participants confirmed 92 percent satisfaction and showed that three-quarters of visitors first attended before age thirty, indicating sustained local roots alongside expanding reach.
