There are more than 1'000 museums in Switzerland, but the Finance Museum
opening in Zurich West today is the first and only one of its kind. Located in the new headquarters of SIX, the exhibition focuses on the finance sector's past, present and future, displays historic exhibits and presents interactive multimedia installations.
Key pieces from one of the world's biggest and most important collections of historical securities illustrate the development of our modern financial economy from the 16. to the 21. century. Among them you will not only encounter legendary enterprises of the era of industrialization and securities of high art historical value, but also an early share issued by the very first stock corporation.
