Atelier Hermann Haller

About the museum

The Zurich sculptor Hermann Haller (1880–1950) had his own studio built in the Seefeld district in 1932, designed by himself with the involvement of the then city architect Hermann Herter. The house, with a porch, large and small studio rooms and a gallery, is listed in the inventory of protected buildings and stands right next to the Pavillon Le Corbusier.

In 1982 the studio and artistic estate passed to the City of Zurich as a gift from the heirs, on condition that the work be made publicly accessible. Since then the city has opened the studio in the summer months. In its authentic setting the work of the once most famous Swiss sculptor was shown, from sketches and studies through small sculptures to the plaster models of the large-format bronze figures.

Between 2024 and 2025 the studio was restored: the foundations were reinforced, and the roof and skylights were replaced true to the original. Since the reopening in June 2026, contemporary works from the city's art collection have initially been on view in the historic workspace. For conservation reasons, Haller's own sculptures are expected to be exhibited again only from summer 2028.
