The Swiss National Museum in Zurich features a permanent collection of some 850,000 objects that tell the story of Switzerland’s history from prehistoric times to the present. This book selects twenty-six items from the collection, one from each of Switzerland’s cantons, that together offer a mosaic of Swiss history. The items include a gold Celtic bowl made more than three thousand years ago,  a miniature electric motor that helped propel NASA’s Spirit rover on Mars, a medieval Madonna sculpture, a clock that once belonged to Napoleon, the first Swiss snow gun, and many more. Beautifully designed and richly illustrated, this book is a wonderful, compact companion to the appreciation of Switzerland’s long history.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Das Schweizerische Nationalmuseum vereint drei Häuser: das Landesmuseum Zürich, das Château de Prangins und das Forum Schweizer Geschichte Schwyz. Diese Museen präsentieren Schweizer Geschichte von den Anfängen bis heute und erschliessen die Vielfalt helvetischer Kultur.Rund 850 000 Objekte bewahrt das Schweizerische Nationalmuseum in seiner Sammlung auf. Sechsundzwanzig davon - pro Kanton ein «Ding» - werden in diesem originellen, handlichen Buch vorgestellt, das anlässlich der Eröffnung des Erweiterungsbaus für das Landesmuseum Zürich erscheint. Die Auswahl reicht vom Lochstab aus dem 11. Jahrhundert v. Chr. (Kanton Schaffhausen) über ein Fussreliquiar von 1450 (Kanton Basel-Landschaft) bis zu einer Taschenuhr von Abraham-Louis Breguet von 1796 (Kanton Neuenburg) oder einer Schneekanone von 1978 (Kanton Graubünden). Alle diese Gegenstände dokumentieren ausserordentliche handwerkliche Fertigkeiten und lassen ein beeindruckendes Panorama der Schweizer Kulturgeschichte entstehen. Seller Inventory # 9783858817808
