Swiss Museum of Transport

Open to discoverers!
In a format that offers huge variety and a fascinating hands-on experience, the Swiss Museum of Transport presents the development of transport and mobility, past, present and future, on road and rail, on the water, in the air and in space, and explains how communication works. These are the core themes of the Swiss Museum of Transport. More than 3,000 displays in approximately 20,000 square metres of exhibition space testify to a history that is, quite literally, moving.
Attractions that are unique to Switzerland - such as the Filmtheatre, the the digitally operated Major Planetarium, Swissarena with the world´s first walk-on aerial photograph of an entire country and the Gotthard tunnel show, plus the Hans Erni Art Museum and many more exhibitions - make a visit to the Swiss Museum of Transport an even more worthwhile and memorable experience.
The Swiss Museum of Transport is an experience to be savoured in all its fascinating diversity - a place of discovery, a collection of original artefacts that illustrate the history of transport. Opened on 1 July 1959, it currently attracts around 800,000 visitors a year. The Swiss Museum of Transport is proud of the fact that it is Switzerland´s most-visited museum.

HANDOUT - Ob Limousine, Sportwagen oder Cabriolet; am Sonntag, 19. Mai 2013 traf sich im Verkehrshaus der Schweiz die internationale Kunststoff-Auto-Szene. Unter dem Motto Fantastic Plastic haben 25 Fahrzeuge am Treffen teilgenommen. Was haben der BMW M1, der Enzmann 506, der Alpine A110, der Jensen C-V8, der Ferrari 308 GTB und der Renault Espace gemeinsam? Alle haben Sie eine Kunststoffkarosserie. In den 50er- und 60er-Jahren entstanden weltweit Automobile mit Karosserien aus glasfaserverstaerktem Kunststoff. Dieser Werkstoff ermooeglichte die Fertigung kleiner Serien zu vertretbaren Kosten. Viele dieser Fahrzeuge sind schon lange aus dem Strassenbild verschwunden. Zusammen mit zwischengas.com praesentierte das Verkehrshaus der Schweiz am Wochenende eine einmalige Fahrzeugvielfalt.
