Wilderness at the center – New exhibition of the Swiss National Park Centre. The Swiss National Park symbolizes real wilderness, a leitmotif of the completely redesigned exhibition in the National Park Centre. 
The many facets of the national park are presented in four exhibition rooms. Visitors to the museum experience the strictly protected natural processes of the park up close. At interactive stations, they have the opportunity to slip into the role of researchers themselves. Lively presentations shed light on important moments in the history of Switzerland's only national park. The question of personal attitudes towards wilderness runs through the entire exhibition and leads to an unexpected finale.

 

Other features of the exhibition include

  • A media guide in five languages (German, French, Italian, Romansh, English)
  • A radio play with the characters Furbina and Ratsch, specially designed for younger visitors
  • Play stations specially designed for younger children

Visitors can experience untouched nature and the essence of the national park in its purest form.
