Ready for a musical adventure? The interactive exhibition invites you to explore the fascinating history of traditional Swiss folk music. The focus is on four typical elements of Swiss music culture: melodeon (Schwyzerörgeli), alphorn, hammered dulcimer, and yodelling.
Folk music and songs have by no means always existed as we know them today. The exhibition shows how melodies migrate, how styles blend, and how the “myth of Swiss folk music” developed over time. Historical exhibits, sound bites, and portraits of individual musicians help to make this development process tangible.
From the traditional ländler to innovative “new Swiss folk music” – the show covers the full range of musical diversity. Apart from that you can also give some of the instruments a try, test your yodelling voice, even hit the dance floor.
