Thurgau School Museum Amriswil
Description
The school museum is an experience for all generations: In the lovingly furnished classroom on the first floor, older visitors feel transported back to their own school days, while younger ones discover how learning took place back then. The authentic atmosphere of 1920 is brought to life with original school furniture and materials. For example, Thurgau reading books from 1910 onwards invite visitors to browse through them, while old aids such as pencil cases, quills, primers, slates and slide rules bring long-gone teaching methods back to life. As an extracurricular place of learning, the school museum offers various educational programmes tailored to the curriculum for school classes from kindergarten to upper school and secondary school. Exciting temporary exhibitions take up topics such as "Näschi" or handicrafts, and museum events provide deeper insights into Swiss school history. A visit to the Amriswil School Museum is a journey through time that brings the history of education to life.
