Swiss National Museum

Swiss National Museum is a fascinating place where Swiss history comes alive before your eyes. The impressive 1898 French Renaissance-style building is a work of art in itself with its many towers and courtyards.

The museum has more than 870,000 exhibits divided into 14 collections, showcasing Swiss history from prehistory to the present. Interactive elements and multimedia presentations will keep even the youngest visitors enthralled.

A modern wing added in 2016 houses temporary exhibitions addressing contemporary topics, and the displays do not shy away from difficult chapters of Swiss history.
