What to expect

With a ticket to the Landesmuseum Zurich, you'll have access to six permanent exhibitions that delve into Switzerland's history and culture from its inception to the present day.

The archaeology exhibition illuminates key periods of human history, spanning from prehistoric times to the early Middle Ages' Christianisation.

The "History of Switzerland" exhibition centres on the nation's evolution over 550 years, offering insights into modern history. In the historical West Wing, an impressive collection of more than 7,000 artefacts demonstrates Switzerland's artisanal prowess and creativity.

For younger visitors, the family exhibition "A Flying Carpet through History" allows children aged five and above to playfully explore themes related to the East, maritime travel and railways.

The "Ideas Switzerland" exhibition scrutinises the ideals that shape Switzerland as a nation of will, while "Simply Zurich" casts light on the Canton and City of Zurich's multifaceted past.

You can also explore frequently changing special exhibitions that tackle various facets of art, society and everyday culture.

Multimedia content and interactive stations enrich the exhibitions, ensuring a diverse museum experience.

Families and children are invited to embark on an engaging, self-guided tour through the exhibitions with a discovery kit or special puzzle books.
