A Unique Place of Learning
As an extracurricular place of learning, the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne gives young visitors the chance to expand their knowledge through first-hand experiences. The range of topics is very broad, ranging from traditional mobility topics to media skills and career choices. We provide teachers with professionally prepared materials and worksheets relating to the Lehrplan 21 curriculum project in Switzerland.
