Reviews
At first, we are sceptical about this place because it sounds nothing except a panoramic painting to expect for this visit. However, to our surprise, it's a really amazing experience. Pay attention to the story, sound effects, and mesmerise the painting, which makes you feel like you are in that moment when the painting was captured. After that, go down 1 floor and play with the art creation and do the self personality test.
This is the second panorama I have seen. The other at Gettysburg.
This was more reflective and contemplative in its space.
Staff were helpful, and the interactive explanations really brought the panorama to life.
It was good to learn a bit more "local" history and also more about the history of panoramas around the world.
It’s free when we use our Swiss Travel Pass. It’s educational.
The highlight is the panaroma painting on the top floor (But if you have visited Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai then you are not going to be impressed by this). On the down floors you have some artifacts and digital displays about the history of the Switzerland.
It is worth it only if you have the Swiss Pass and this goes out to specially the Asians!
In these days of 3d virtual realities when ancient battles can be brought back to life through computer graphics a still panorama feels a little anachronistic. On the other hand it is a giant one and you get a sound accompaniment with a narrative that explains what you see. Additionally you can rent mobile devices with earphones to dig even deeper in the historical facts.
You get free entry to this museum with Swiss Travel Pass, otherwise you need to pay a nominal fee. The museum itself is not quite huge, consisting only of a 360 degree painting depicting the Bourbaki army and their loss in the war. However, it is quite a surreal experience sitting admist the museum and reading about the history of the war, as well as the details of the painting. Highly recommend to visit this place together with the Lion Monument and Glacier Garden.
Audio guides are available in multiple languages, which is great. Listening to the explanation of the panorama really is a must.
Got tickets as a part of a packsgr with tickets to the Glacier museum. My second favorite exhibit in the area (Glacier museum, Bourbaki Panorama, Lion monument).
A historical event I knew very little about (USA nationality) and found very interesting. Also the sheer size of the painting and model integration is very impressive.
I recommend listening to the explanation of the event/painting which can be found in English.
