Cabaret Voltaire | Zürcher Museen

The Cabaret Voltaire is the birthplace of world-renowned Dada, which emerged in Zurich in 1916 and, in the midst of war, awakened the need to interrogate the present with new artistic forms and formats. Today, its cross-disciplinary legacy continues to take center stage.
With temporary exhibitions in the Vaulted Cellar or Soirées in the Historical Hall, the house is a platform for contemporary arts and debate.
In addition to the Historical Hall with bar, there is an Artists' Bar in the entrance area, which is occupied by an artistic position for one year at a time. On the second floor of the Cabaret Voltaire is the Dada Library, which includes important Dada publications and can be used as a workplace during the day.
