Intro
The Forum Schweizer Geschichte Schwyz is one of the most important cultural history museums in the Alpine region; it is both a modern history museum and a cultural-historical venue for experiences and encounters.
The Forum Schweizer Geschichte Schwyz is the Swiss National Museum’s branch in Central Switzerland.
The permanent exhibition “The Birth of Switzerland: From the 12th to the 14th Century” explores the conditions that led to the formation of the Old Swiss Confederacy in the Middle Ages. The story of Switzerland’s origins is presented as an interactive journey that appeals to both children and adults on an emotional level. An extraordinary spatial design spanning three floors turns a visit to the museum into an unforgettable experience.
The regularly changing exhibitions in the basement are of great importance to the region and Central Switzerland. These temporary exhibitions address current topics and present them in a timely manner. A cafeteria and an attractive museum shop round out the offerings for visitors.
