In August 2016 the Swiss National Museum in Zurich will open its impressive new modern extension. The country’s most popular cultural history museum showcases Swiss history, revealing the many faces of Switzerland as well as our historical, social and cultural diversity.

The National Museum consists of a charming historical building dating back to 1898 and a new sculpture-like wing, which includes the new extension. This allows visitors to take a tour through the old and the new. As a result of the latest construction work, the museum has gained large, multi-purpose exhibition halls, a modern library and an auditorium for public events.
