Grubenmann-Museum

The Grubenmann Museum occupies a former arsenal building, displaying wooden architectural models, technical drawings, and historical documents related to structural engineering innovations.

The museum collection originated from a 1959 exhibition commemorating the 250th anniversary of Hans Ulrich Grubenmann's birth, leading to its establishment in 1979.

The exhibition space includes scale models and documentation of wooden bridges and buildings that showcase engineering techniques from the 18th century Swiss builders.

The museum opens Wednesday through Friday from 14:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 12:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours about historical construction methods.

Exhibits feature the engineering achievements of three Grubenmann brothers who developed methods for constructing wooden structures with extensive spanning capabilities.
