Swiss National Museum

Abstract

The Swiss National Museum is Switzerland's most frequently visited museum of cultural history. Based in Zurich, its collections are held over four different establishments including National Museum Zurich and Chateau de Prangins. Collectively, the museums give an insight into Swiss identity, from prehistory through ancient times and the Middle Ages to the 20th century. This new addition to Scala's Director's Choice series celebrates the museum's 125th anniversary, showcasing stunning new photography of some of the museum's finest objects, a selection that has been expertly compiled by Denise Tonella, the museum's director.
