The Museum

The Shooting Museum is one of the few sports history museums in Switzerland. It conserves and documents the cultural heritage of a tradition that is still very much alive. The building, constructed in traditional heimat style, was opened in 1939 and extensively renovated in 2025. At the same time, the long-standing permanent exhibition was redesigned.
