It was rainy & snowing day during our visit to Lucern so this was a welcomed exhibit for our family to see! There was a variety of interesting things for all ages. We could have spent longer but we stayed about an hour and a half.

This museum was included with our SwissPass. Great handheld devices to take you through the multitude of artifacts on display. Certainly some great pieces of history in their collection.

It bills itself as a "depot", and that's how the collection is presented - it's a cross between a museum, a junk store and an attic store-room, all within the old Lucerne arsenal.

It was refreshing to scan the barcodes in front of the exhibits instead of being bombarded by long text. To gain a better insight to certain areas of interest such as the history of Lucerne or the Lion Monument, scan the barcodes for the games at the yellow wall full of barcodes near each staircase. Then, you can either go... More

This museum is PACKED (in a organized way!) with history of Lucerne from like 900 on. Seriously the amount of stuff which is so well organized is a bit overwhelming. You get this little scanner that you scan as many bar codes as you want (corresponds to item) and you can read in your language about the item. You can... More
