Heiden Museum, History museum in Heiden, Switzerland.
The Heiden Museum displays collections of natural history specimens, ethnographic objects, and historical artifacts documenting the region's development through time.
The museum originated from two separate institutions in 1859, when local reading societies acquired natural history collections from Johann Konrad Rechsteiner.
The museum preserves exhibits about Heiden's transformation into a European health resort between 1850 and World War I, attracting elite visitors.
Located in the post office building at Kirchplatz since 1950, the museum maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours for groups.
The natural history section retains its original 1952 arrangement, making it the last unmodernized collection of its type in Switzerland.
