Intro
The Museum of Prehistory exhibits archaeological finds from the Canton of Zug from the Palaeolithic Age to the Early Middle Ages. Life-size scenes and figures, models and stories make it a special experience for families and school classes.
Archaeological finds from the Canton of Zug from the Palaeolithic to the Early Middle Ages are presented in the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Prehistory(s) Zug. One focus of this collection of national importance is the pile-dwelling period. On display are finds from three UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Late Bronze Age settlement of Zug-Sumpf, and other highlights such as the Neolithic double axe from Cham-Eslen. With wooden components from a Roman mill and clay statuettes from a sanctuary, Cham-Hagendorn from the Roman period is also represented by outstanding exhibits.
Life-size scenes and figures, models and stories make the museum a special experience for families and school classes. The everyday life of past eras can be experienced here in a particularly vivid way. Workrooms and extensive teaching materials are available for class visits. The events are very popular: Sunday events for the whole family, workshops for those interested in handicrafts and a wide range of guided tours, tailor-made adventure programs and children's birthday parties bring prehistory closer to people of all ages.
