The Forum of Swiss History Schwyz is one of the most important museums of cultural history in the Alpine region. It is a modern historical museum where culture and history come together offering visitors a special experience. The permanent exhibition by the title of "Switzerland in the Making. Through the 12th to the 14th Century" focuses on the foundation and early development of the Old Swiss Confederacy in the Middle Ages. Designed as an adventure tour to address our senses, the exhibition appeals to children and adults alike. The extraordinary scenography over all three floors makes a visit to the museum an event to remember.

A remarkable little museum! Discover two exhibitions under one roof: The DIORAMA houses the private mineral collection of the Dr. Adelrich Eberle from Einsiedeln: 1,200 eye-catching pieces from all over the world, from Alpine quartz to magnificent crystals from South America and China. A special feature is our fluorescence cabinet: In ultraviolet light some minerals, which are rather inconspicuous in daylight, reveal a fantastic, undreamt-of splendour of colour. Our famous nativity scene in the same house enchants with over 450 hand-carved figures on 80 m2. The magnificent figures are almost 100 years old. A crib? - Yes! What makes it unique is the attention to detail: the almost lifelike figures, the clothing, architecture, the large water wheel, hand mills and plough show the town of Bethlehem in a geographically absolutely lifelike landscape. Changing exhibitions on “Special Objects”. Special offers for groups and schools. Museum shop and small visitor café.
