Intro

The Swiss Theater Collection is unique in Switzerland.

The Swiss Theater Collection is unique in Switzerland. Very vividly, it allows a walk through the entire history of theater with detailed background texts and visual material, from the famous Greek theaters such as Epidauros to Shakespeare's theater to the present day. For each type of theater there is a large model with the mechanics appropriate to the era. The audience can operate these themselves and thus gain insights into theater techniques and processes that are not available anywhere else in this form.

Of course, the focus is also on the history of theater in Switzerland, which is embedded in the pan-European context. Appreciation is paid here, among other things, to the important Geneva stage reformer Adolphe Appia (1862 - 1928), whose estate is in the Swiss Theater Collection.
