Collection Centre of the Swiss National Museum

April 3, 6.30 p.m. - Register

I am sure that most of you have already visited the Swiss National Museum, but what you see there is only a fraction of the various collections. Have you ever heard about the Collection Centre? This centre is located in Affoltern am Albis and houses under one roof the various collections of the SNM, the conservator workshops, a lab of conservation research as well as storage and lending management. You will also see the modern infrastructure (library, seminar room and workplaces) which enables staff and scholars to dedicate their skills to the maintenance of the comprehensive collection holdings.

Our guided tour is hosted by the head of the Collection Centres and is free of charge for members. It starts at 6.30 p.m. and lasts 1 1/2 hours. Afterwards we can have something to eat and/or drink in a restaurant.
