What you can expect

Step inside the "Switzerland in the Making" exhibition at the Forum of Swiss History in Schwyz and embark on a journey into the Middle Ages. This interactive experience combines virtual guides, multimedia stations, and original artefacts to bring the early days of the Old Confederation to life.

As you move through the exhibition, you'll encounter figures such as knights, mule drivers, and early Confederates who shaped the region's history. Younger visitors and adults can enjoy hands‑on elements, including the chance to dress up as a knight or a noble lady for a memorable photo.

Focusing on the 12th to 14th centuries, the exhibition highlights the origins and early development of the Swiss Confederation. It also introduces ongoing historical debates about when, where, and how Switzerland's story truly began. This permanent exhibition offers an engaging way to understand over seven centuries of history.
