Review & FAQ:

A part of the Musée Suisse Group, the Swiss National Museum is one of the most important art museums of cultural history in all of Europe. The museum building itself, with its impressive architecture of courts and towers, is a work of art that was designed by architect Gustav Gull.

Visitors can explore the museum on their own or go on a guided tour which takes them from prehistoric and ancient times to the Middle Ages and the 20th century. Visitors will find an extensive collection of Gothic art, panel paintings, liturgical wooden sculptures, and carved altars.
