What is the eMuseum?
The eMuseum is the largest Swiss online database for design and art. Interested scholars, curators, designers and collectors can search more than 100,000 works in the collections by author, title, date, category or object name and setting the desired filters, or can alternatively browse by entering keywords.
Record:
Data on objects, people and exhibitions are constantly being supplemented and expanded. Not all of the 500,000 collected items are available online in the eMuseum. For newly added data sets, see New in the eMuseum. Please register if you would like to send us comments, corrections or additions to the published data.
Curate:
We regularly publish the latest topics of interest under In Focus. Under YourCollection, you, too, can curate your own virtual exhibitions and share them with others! Just register to get started!

In the Exhibition Archive you can find information on recent exhibitions at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich as well as documentation of events and projects at Zurich University of the Arts.
Biographies provides profiles of important designers and artists.
