VISIT THE MUSEUM VIRTUALLY

From now on, you can also visit the Swiss Radiation Museum virtually!!! A visit is definitely worthwhile. You can move around the museum as if you were really there. In addition, you can watch videos during your visit, where you can get a lot of information, just like a real guided tour. Admission costs only 4 francs. Enclosed you will find the link:

Not only interesting for crystal and spotlight craft enthusiasts and especially the newly created possibility to visit the museum virtually. I also really liked the film in which we are taken into the mountain and can experience on the spot how such a gap is found and opened. This is also a great option for people who are perhaps no longer able to walk uphill.
