The Rietberg Museum is housed in Villa Wesendonck, a beautiful mansion in Rieter Park with a view of the lake. The permanent collection features non-European art, including famous works from India, China, Africa and Japan. Museum hours, Tuesday-Sunday, 10 am-5 pm. Villa hours, Tuesday-Saturday, 1-5 pm, Sunday, 10 am-5 pm. 3 Sfr-12 Sfr. Gablerstrasse 15 (take Tram 7). The Rietberg is actually made up of a pair of villas set in a tranquil park just southwest of Zürich city center. Villa Wesendonck – which was built in 1857 by German industrialist Otto Wesendonck – is on the right and was modeled after Villa Albani in Rose. Villa Rieter – the smaller of the two museums – is on the left. Villa Wesendonck houses the main collection of non-European artwork and was home to composer Richard Wager in 1857. Villa Rieter houses several ever-changing collections of Asian, Indian, Chinese and Japanese art on two floors. The grounds and buildings themselves are stunning and a stroll around the area is well worth it.
