Museums in Switzerland

The vehicle collection of the Swiss Army Museum, which comprises over 400 objects, is housed in Burgdorf. The spectrum ranges from simple horse-drawn wagons, motor vehicles of all kinds to the modern Leopard 2 main battle tank. The collection clearly shows the chronicle of motorization in the Swiss army.

The Swiss Museum of Transport is a hands-on experience to be savoured in all its diversity, an exciting guide to the development of transport and mobility on road and rail, on the water, in the air and in space, and to the worlds of modern communication. Switzerland’s most popular museum currently attracts over 920,000 visitors a year. More than 3,000 exhibits on some 20,000 square metres of museum space testify to a history that is, quite literally, moving.
