The exhibition begins playfully: with a sculpture of landmarks and humorous short films about Zurich's municipalities. The second room is dominated by a treasure trove with seventy objects, some everyday, some valuable - starting points for picture narratives between yesterday and today, on the trail of Zurich's successes. A pizza box refers to Italian immigration and its formative role for modern Zurich. A magnificent drinking vessel tells of the guild revolution in the 14th century. And portraits of Huldrych Zwingli and Alfred Escher take us back to the times of upheaval during the Reformation and industrialisation. Finally, a filmic spatial installation makes reality permeable by means of point cloud technology. In a spectacular way, and in four journeys - along the Töss and its former factories, through Zurich's old town, into the unimagined depths of the main railway station as well as to the bottom of the lake and the water supply.
The multimedia exhibition is in four languages (D/F/I/E).
