For the past few years I have created a ‘wish list’ of exhibitions that I want to visit in Switzerland. I usually share this list with friends but this year I want to share it with all my followers and anyone else who might be interested. It is by no means a comprehensive list so feel free to let me know what I’ve missed!
I’ll be sharing what’s new and exhibitions that are closing soon bi-monthly. For those of you interested in planning a bit further ahead I will soon be posting my highlights of the year. I’d love to have your feedback on the format and if you think anything is missing. Go to Exhibitions 2024 list.
