Dates: Tuesday 22nd to Friday 25th September

Description:

Join me for four fabulous art filled days in three cities in Switzerland; Zurich, Bern and Basel. This unique experience to see the greatest art collections the country has to offer with your own personal art historian. We will track artists and themes from place to place, with in-depth local history and even a few Irish connections. There will be two days in Zurich where we will enjoy a stroll through the city to look at the stunning architecture and see the famous churches with some very special stained glass. We will also visit the Kunsthaus Zürich, Museum Rietberg, Helmhaus. On day three we will travel to the picturesque city of Bern to explore its Medieval streets and to see Kunstmusuem Bern, Museen Bern and Zentrum Paul Klee full of his endlessly fascinating works . On the fourth and final day we will go Basel known as the city of art and culture to visit Kunstmuseum Basel and Kunsthalle Basel. We will travel by train together with Zurich as the base, this is included in the price. Flights and Accommodation are not included but I can recommend a travel agent if you would like help with booking these elements.

I look forward to sharing this wonderful country and these incredible art collections with you!
