The Zurich Museum Strauhof has been a center of literary activity and exhibits for a while now (it also currently houses the Zurich James Joyce Foundation), but now the city has decided to shutter the place (with the Joyce foundation to move to new quarters).
Given the lack of any similar establishment in Switzerland, and the fine work they've done here over the years, there has been considerable outcry about this -- including a website in support of keeping the museum as is, as well as a Change.org petition (with 2131 signatures as I write this).
Serving a unique and valuable function, it would be a shame if they really shut down the place.
