Uri's Crystal Museum, Seedorf
Uri's crystal museum in Seedorf is the most exceptional and fascinating mineral museum in Switzerland. It is located directly next to the lovely, late gothic water castle A Pro (1558), on the main road Seedorf-Bauen. The building with its winding rooms, deep vaults, unequal ground levels and gruff quarrystone walls builds the ideal framework for a mystical atmosphere, for a mineral treasury.
Highlight
The attractive presentation, which visualises the magical beauty of the crystals in an optimal way, makes the exhibition to an unforgettable experience. The basement of the museum is equipped for slide shows and screening. The crystal museum of Uri is a lively museum that changes constantly. The items on loan are replaced by new ones for the most part every year. Thus, a visit at the museum is worthwhile again and again.
