Museums in Zug

Between 1996 and 1999, Tadashi Kawamata from Japan created a passage through the city in collaboration with the Kunsthaus Zug. Five interventions form a trail that leads from the Kunsthaus through the Old Town and along the lake promenade to the nature reserve.

With its "Journey to the Past" theme, the permanent exhibition features archeological finds from Canton Zug. Life-like human figures, models of settlements, and stories bring everyday life in bygone days back to life.

The Fishing Museum in the heart of the Old Town of Zug combines a wealth of information and exhibits in a compact space.

On the edge of the old town, Zug Castle is the oldest still preserved profane building in Zug and is a landmark of the city. With its many nooks and crannies, Zug Castle has been home to the museum of cultural history for the city and the Canton of Zug since 1983.
