The exhibition

Key visual of the exhibition "Switzerland Elsewhere" - it shows a married couple, the man pushing a large overseas suitcase.

Roughly 752,000 Swiss citizens live abroad. In reference to the country’s four language areas, they are often referred to as the “fifth Switzerland”. The Organization of the Swiss Abroad (OSA) represents Swiss expatriates’ interests in Switzerland and helps them to maintain relationships abroad as well as with people at home. The exhibition, developed in collaboration with OSA, looks at the history of the Swiss abroad with a special focus on the life histories of individual emigrants, in the past as well as today.
