Schweizer Finanzmusem

About

In a multimedia exhibition, the first and only financial museum in Switzerland – a country known for its banks – explains the origins of the economic system and the role of the stock market. What are stocks? How are they traded on stock exchanges? And are we heading toward a cashless future? Audio installations, interactive video sequences and touchscreen animations provide visitors to the museum with a fun way of learning more about the players, processes and developments in the Swiss financial centre. For the first time, the general public is able to see a simplified version of the training programme used to prepare stockbrokers for working on the Swiss stock exchange, while the "stock exchange game" lets visitors run through a day on the Swiss stock exchange.
