Hilltop fires, smartphones and cyborgs - the Museum of Communication examines all forms of communication. An unusual museum experience that has been awarded the renowned Council of Europe Museum Prize in 2019.
A stagecoach, microchip implants or an original getaway car used in the robbery of the century? The museum examines all forms of communication, which has always connected human beings. But why do we communicate? And who do we communicate with? What is required for us to understand each other? The exhibition explores these fundamental questions in a playful manner while calling on its visitors to contribute their expert thoughts.
Numerous points of adventure await you. You can take part in a game of film karaoke and reenact famous scenes, you can breach your opponent’s firewall in a hacking game or you can have a go at seeing through the data octopus’s game – you can try something different every time you visit the museum. At some point in the exhibition you will surely meet one of our communicators. They will make each visit a personal and individual experience. How? Let us surprise you!
By the way: The mascot Ratatösk accompanies children through their own world of communication and teaches them fun-filled games.
In 2019, the museum was awarded the Council of Europe Museum Prize for its innovative concept. So far, only three museums in Switzerland have ever been honoured in this way.
