The National Museum in Zurich presents Swiss history from its beginnings to the present day in the permanent exhibitions "Archaeology Switzerland", "History Switzerland" and "The Collection", as well as several temporary exhibitions each year.

In the permanent exhibitions "Archaeology Switzerland", "History Switzerland" and "The Collection", the National Museum Zurich shows Swiss history from its beginnings to the present day. The Archaeology exhibition focuses on the most important stages of human history from prehistoric times to Christianization in the early Middle Ages. "History of Switzerland" gives a comprehensive insight into the political history of the Swiss Confederation and ends with current topics, such as the dissolution of Swiss banking secrecy. "The Collection" features over 7000 exhibits from the museum's own collection and sheds light on Swiss craftsmanship and artisanship over a period of around 1000 years. The exhibition rooms are also important witnesses of the times and combine with the objects to create a historically dense atmosphere that allows a deep dive into the past.

Temporary exhibitions can be seen regularly in the National Museum. They take up historical, cultural or socially relevant topics and are supplemented with debates, lectures, readings or workshops. Children are not neglected either. There are age-appropriate guided tours, adventure tours and special workshops for them.
