Art Over Lunch

Art Over Lunch is a monthly event series for members of Asia Society Switzerland. In pandemic-free times, we visit an exhibition or a special part of a collection with artists, curators and experts for 45 minutes followed by a small lunch. The tours are designed to give members a different view on the vast troves at the museums and galleries in the city of Zurich and provide an opportunity to mingle and discuss. We're currently focusing on digital tours and talks until circumstances permit physical visits once again.

Art over Lunch is made possible with the support of the private bank Bergos.
