Löwenbräu art
The complex of art galleries and museums on the site of the former Löwenbräu brewery in Zurich reopened at the end of August 2012 after two years of alterations carried out by architects Gigon/Guyer and Atelier WW.
The city of Zurich put up one third of the investment, since it regards art as an important element in the way it presents itself to the outside world, and as a major economic factor.
