Forum of Swiss History in Schwyz

21 April 2018

The new permanent exhibition at the Forum of Swiss History in Schwyz shows ‘Switzerland in the Making’. The exhibition focuses on the foundation and early development of the Swiss Confederacy in the Middle Ages. The history of the Swiss Confederation goes back more than seven hundred years.

The beginning of Switzerland is still debated: when, where, and how did the country’s history as a nation, confederation or Eidgenossenschaft begin? The exhibition puts these questions into the perspective of the economic, political, cultural and social developments of the 13th-14th centuries.
