The Zermatt
Matterhorn
Museum
Previous and frequent
visitors to Zermatt will no doubt remember the old
location of the
Zermatt
Matterhorn
Museum . Off the main street and near
the English church; it was a destination that attracted little occasional
traffic. Now with the new location right next to the Grand Hotel
Zermatterhof and across from the Monte Rosa hotel, the new location and
indeed the new museum attract passing walk-in traffic. Judging from comments
and expressions the new location is a roaring success.
The displays are the big attraction
though and the
Zermatt
Museum takes visitors through many of
the events that made Zermatt and the
Matterhorn , famous. Here visitors can relive the first
desperate, successful and yet tragic ascent of the
Matterhorn. Many highlights of
Zermatt ’s evelvment of what is has become today are
recorded in the museum. Stories are told with historical artifacts,
biographies, photos and videos. Don’t worry about understanding the whole
thing, there is a multilingual audio program that will guide you through the
whole evolvement process.
