Quote:

"The history of the site on which the Museum Rietberg stands today begins in the summer of 1857, when Otto and Mathilde Wesendonck, a couple from Wuppertal, moved into their newly-built, grand, neo-classical house, today's Villa Wesendonck.

"In the following decades [the last quarter of the nineteenth century] the villa was occupied by the Rieter family who came from Winterthur. Rieterpark and the Rietberg take their name from the family. * * * In 1945 the City of Zurich bought the 67,000-square metre Rieterpark and the Villa Wesendonck which became the Museum Rietberg in 1952.
