The largest museum collection in Switzerland devoted to cultural history is housed here in the Swiss National Museum. Museum tours take you on a trip from Prehistory through ancient times, then onto the Middle Ages and eventually to the 20th Century. The focus is on illuminating the daily lives and culture of the people of that time period, and things that they left behind are displayed, ranging from works of art to everyday articles. Special exhibitions, concerts, and many social events take place here, taking advantage of the museum's picturesque courtyard.
