Product Info
Discover the exhibition "Emergence of Switzerland" at the Forum of Swiss History in Schwyz and embark on an unforgettable journey back to the Middle Ages. Immerse yourself in history with virtual guides, multimedia stations, and unique historical artifacts. Explore the interactive path and learn about the fascinating founding story of the Old Confederation.
Along the way, you will meet proud knights, daring mule drivers, and rebellious Confederates. At the end, you can dress up as a knight or noble lady and capture the moment with a photo.
The exhibition focuses on the founding and early development of the Swiss Confederation from the 12th to the 14th century. It is designed as a sensory adventure that captivates both kids and adults alike.
The extraordinary scenography across three floors makes your visit a memorable experience. No nation has existed forever, and Switzerland is no exception.

These are just a few of the exciting questions that this permanent exhibition at the Forum of Swiss History in Schwyz addresses.
