Ticket Swiss National Museum Zurich

With a ticket to the Landesmuseum Zurich, you gain access to six permanent exhibitions that explore the history and culture of Switzerland from its beginnings to the present day.

The archaeology exhibition highlights crucial phases of human history from prehistoric times to the Christianization in the early Middle Ages.

The exhibition "History of Switzerland" focuses on the development of the country over a span of 550 years and offers insights into contemporary history. In the historical West Wing, a collection of over 7,000 artifacts showcases Switzerland's craftsmanship and artisanal creativity.

In the family exhibition "A Flying Carpet through History," children from 5 years old can explore themes of the East, shipping, and railways in a playful way.

The "Ideas Switzerland" exhibition examines the ideals that shape Switzerland as a nation of will. "Simply Zurich" sheds light on the diverse past of the Canton and City of Zurich.

Additionally, you can visit regularly changing special exhibitions that address various aspects of art, society, and everyday culture.

Multimedia content and interactive stations enhance the exhibitions, providing a varied museum experience.

Families and children can embark on an exciting, independent journey through the exhibitions with a discovery kit or special puzzle books.
