Guided Tour

Simply Zurich

23.9.2023 | 11:00accessibility.time_to12:30

Known as «Athens on the Limmat» in the 18th century, today Zurich is likened to a Little Berlin: a city of superlatives, but with a cosy side. Consistently ranking among the most livable cities in the world, Zurich is much more than a banking center and transportation hub. Explore what's behind this success story and delve into Zurich's multifaceted past with art historian and museum educator Mimi Pecnik Rommens.

The exhibition

The city and canton of Zurich have a long and chequered history. This will be shown in a permanent exhibition at the National Museum. From the pile-dwelling settlement to the muesli grater and the handbook for squatters, the exhibition explores Zurich’s rich past; cinematic installations and state-of-the-art technology bring an added dimension to the 60 or so historical objects on display, giving visitors a multimedia experience.
