We had never heard of this place so it was a complete surprise! This is exactly how it should be. I don't want to spoil this surprise but will just say it is well worth the trip. Just go and let yourself be swept away by this beautiful history. I love how his film history is separated from his wonderful home and family life. We've gone from not knowing much about Charlie Chaplin to absolutely adoring him. What a life!!

There are stations playing music and videos of the band, cases of Queen paraphernalia, old albums, original band equipment, lyrics hand written on scraps of paper, and Freddie's outfits. There are stories of the men's lives and the original sound room from Mountain studios, where the band recorded. Out back, there are the doors to the studio where people have concocted a memorial to Freddie and Queen. The casino is placed with a backdrop of the gorgeous lake and mountains, very scenic and serene. A must-see when you are in the area!

Yelp Review 2026 #150:…read more Matterhorn Museum is a nice place to visit to learn more about Matterhorn in depth. I've never Googled "hiking Matterhorn" or anything like that. Because one, I'm not hiking Matterhorn. Two, I can just look at it from a good distance. You can tell by its shape that that climb is steep and won't be easy. The first hiker in 1865 died. A few more people ascended the mountain. Those who made it to the peak all tried different routes. There's a room with a model of Matterhorn and when you press a button for each hiker's name, it shows you what route they took. Some were straightforward, one did the long roundabout way, one did a zigzag. There are falling rocks making the hike even more challenging. It's in the top 5 highest fatality rate from hiking in the world with over 500 deaths since the first one in 1865. I appreciate dark information like this because it brings you back to reality before you think about something dumb like hike Matterhorn. There was also drama that involves alleged sabotage involving Edward Whymper and guides Peter Taugwalder, Senior and his son PT, Junior vs 4 other hikers who died because of the 3 survivors previously mentioned. The rope that was allegedly cut to separate the survivors from those who fell to their death is in the museum. The actual story is still being debated by these climbers' descendants. Aside from that, the museum also tells you how Zermatt went from a poor town to a popular tourist town. From the first hotels (Monte Rosa, Mont Cervin and Zermatterhof - which are all still operating), church, flora and fauna. There's a weird section where you can see pictures of animals indigenous to Zermatt and their droppings. You can buy tickets at the gift shop. We got in for free using Swiss Travel Pass. The museum is underground. I just Googled "Matterhorn fatality" and sadly, an Italian hiker lost his life a few days ago.

As far as local history museums go, this is one of the best anywhere. It helps that the subject…read morematter is so iconic. The museum focuses on the scaling of the Matterhorn, and how the town culture developed around Alpine climbing. You'll find all sorts of artifacts like the original ropes and ice axes used to climb the matterhorn. The museum has three levels. The first is the main entrance, ticket booth, and gift shop. There are lockers to leave bags and hangars for jackets. The second level is below the street and is a metal grate walkway with historical items. The deepest and final level has the largest selection of artifacts and information. An audio guide is available in many languages but you'll need to download an app. Staff is minimal but does speak English.

The building itself is interesting from an architectural point of view, it is a special kind of concrete construction.

This was a nice experience for first time painting!…read more The instructor was clear in French and English, and participants were mixed language and men and women. There was a "club" feeling generated, and the presence of the restaurant right next door, from which we could get our 2 drinks (with coupons provided by Life of Art's Lisa) and take them to the studio made the atmosphere very convivial and gave a chance for participants to meet one another before the painting started. The painting I did wasn't the best but I was happy to give it a try and to see how others did too. Next time I hope to do better! I can recommend this experience to anyone who likes to find a new outlet for fun and some learning, and to meet some nice people.

This is an awesome museum if you're really interested in the Olympics or if you're a child. I…read morereally enjoyed it, but I wouldn't recommend it to the average adult. The exhibits were well put together, and there was a lot of interesting information to read with fun games for children. I loved the temporary exhibit (free to the public) about running and the focus on Paris 2024. Admission was more expensive than I would have liked, even with the student discount for 14 CHF. The Olympic park outside is nice to walk around.

It's been a long time since I came through here. I created a listing to review the Olympic Games…read morebut it got merged with the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. I've actually been to this museum, funnily enough (in 2005, I believe it was, but I could be off), so I decided to post the review anyway. The Olympic Museum in Switzerland is worth a visit if you are obsessed with the Olympics but we're really not. We like the World Cup a lot. So I won't be taking Barbie back here with me most likely. It's still a pretty cool Museum and it's been a long time since I was here but it looks from the pictures like it's changed, so I'll have to consider maybe giving it another visit when I come back to Switzerland maybe next year maybe no go.
