Discover Switzerland at the National Museum
City centre, Switzerland
The National Museum gives a visit to Zurich a wider Swiss context. Behind the main station, its castle-like historic building meets a striking modern extension, creating an engaging setting for exhibitions about the country’s people, politics and material culture. The displays move beyond picturesque clichés to explore how Switzerland has changed over time. Leave space for a temporary exhibition as well as the permanent galleries, and notice the dialogue between the two very different architectural languages.
