Journey into the Past
Overview
Intro
The exhibition features archaeological finds from the canton of Zug dating from the Paleolithic era to the Early Middle Ages. Models and stories make a visit to the museum a memorable experience.
Archaeological finds from the canton of Zug, dating from the Paleolithic through the Early Middle Ages, are on display in the permanent exhibition at the Museum of Prehistory (Museum für Urgeschichte(n)) in Zug. A key focus of this collection of national significance is the Lake Dwelling Period. On display are artifacts from three UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Late Bronze Age settlement at Zug-Sumpf, as well as other highlights such as the Neolithic double-headed axe from Cham-Eslen. With wooden components from a Roman mill and clay statuettes from a sanctuary, the Roman-era site of Cham-Hagendorn is also represented by outstanding exhibits.
Life-size scenes and figures, models, and stories make the museum a special experience, particularly for families and school groups. Here, visitors can gain a vivid understanding of daily life in bygone eras. Workshops and extensive educational materials are available for school visits. The events are popular: Sunday activities for the whole family, workshops for those interested in crafts, and a wide range of guided tours, customized experiential programs, and children’s birthday parties bring prehistory to life for people of all ages.
