I seldom miss the opportunity of visiting a museum when I am in the locality.
The Swiss National Museum, hyped as the largest historico-cultural collection of Switzerland, is conveniently located next to the Central Station at Zurich, so it was too good an opportunity to miss. The castle-like building, which combines various architectural styles, is impressive from the outside, but rather impoverished in the inside. I was decidedly underwhelmed by the collection, and a bit confused with the layout.
