The interior design of the new premises was provided by the Zurich architectural firm Fuhrimann/Hächler (AFGH), which had also designed the café and shop area at the previous location in the ewz-Unterwerk Selnau building (2007/2021). Here, considerable emphasis was placed on sustainability: the pre-existing tables and bistro chairs from the previous café were integrated into the new design, as was the furniture from the museum shop and reception area.

One special highlight of the new café has been contributed by Italian artist Esther Stocker (b. 1974 in Schlanders). Material from her Knitter-Skulpturen (Engl.: Crumpled Sculptures) – which remained on view in the exhibition Concepts of the All-Over at the ewz-Unterwerk Selnau until the move in spring 2025 – were repurposed into new works designed specifically for the café walls.

We serve a small selection of hot and cold snacks, a variety of cakes, and a carefully curated range of beverages.

Guests who do not wish to visit the exhibitions are also warmly welcome.
