Museum of Design, Zurich

Graphic designers should put this one near the top. The Museum für Gestaltung has been collecting everyday and sophisticated design since 1875 and now holds more than 580,000 physical, hybrid and digital objects, over half a million of them from the history of graphics and design. It runs across three sites in Zurich: Ausstellungsstrasse, the Toni-Areal and the Pavillon Le Corbusier. Each has its own program and hours, so decide which shows you want before you go rather than turning up at one address and hoping. The Le Corbusier pavilion makes a fine short add-on for architecture fans.
