Immerse yourself in the industrial history of the 19th and early 20th centuries, when steam engines found their way into Swiss companies. Be fascinated by the hissing colossi and fragile constructions that fundamentally changed the way people lived, worked and got around. Admire the precision of the technology and the inventiveness of the engineers of the time and gain an insight into the working conditions of the people who founded the prosperity of Winterthur with diligence, skill and ability.
