Trade museum
This traditional museum in the heart of Winterthur's old town attracts crowds of curious visitors with its creative exhibitions. It deals with a wide range of topics from everyday culture, light and design to industrial production and always knows how to present the familiar in an unusual way.
With temporary exhibitions, events and workshops, the Gewerbemuseum operates at the interface between everyday culture, art and design and deals with design in all its facets - from artistic objects to everyday items. In the historic and atmospheric building, it provides surprising, unusual and sensual insights into current issues and contemporary phenomena and presents culturally and historically relevant topics. The museum facilitates encounters with designers, tells the stories of objects and materials and offers space for exploring industrial and artisanal production as well as new and traditional technologies.
If your throat gets dry or your stomach growls, the Grand Café du Musée provides relief - in winter indoors in the warmth, in summer in the cozy courtyard. You will also find unusual and special objects for sale in the museum store.
