Guided Tour of the Saurer Museum

Description

Right on the picturesque lakeside promenade in Arbon, a piece of true Thurgau identity awaits. The Saurer Museum takes you into the eventful history of a former global company, whose pioneering spirit can still be felt in every hall today.
Here, not only technology fans get their money's worth: while reminiscing about the legendary postal buses and military vehicles, the family marvels at the powerful commercial vehicles that conquered the roads as early as 1903. A special highlight is the canton’s textile past: experience historic embroidery and weaving machines, some of which are operated right before your eyes. The rhythmic clatter of the mechanics makes the industrial history of Eastern Switzerland tangible with all the senses.
