Well into the 20th century, Switzerland was a country of emigration. Just a few generations ago, economic hardship was driving thousands of Swiss to emigrate to places like France, Brazil and the USA. The exhibition ‘Leaving Switzerland’ tells the dramatic stories of women, men and families who left here to try their luck in far-off lands. But even today, emigration is still a topical issue. Around 800,000 Swiss citizens currently live abroad. They’re often referred to as the ‘Fifth Switzerland’ and they also have their part in the exhibition.
