Museums and art galleries

The exhibition focuses on the flora and fauna in the region.

The Museum of Archaeology (Museum für Archäologie) presents a cross-section from pile-dwelling cultures – a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011 – to Napoleon’s battlefield in Canton Thurgau. Excavation methods above and below water, cooperation with neighbouring disciplines such as botany, zoology or dendrochronology are also vividly conveyed.

The permanent exhibition includes history, domestic and agricultural implements and tools, traditional costumes and archaeological finds.  

The museum (Saurier Museum) shows a complete skeleton of the dinosaur Plateosaurus, many fossils and a film about the discovery history of the Frick dinosaurs and gives information about the life and extinction of the dinosaurs.
