International Museum Day on May 17, 2026 in Zug invites you to rediscover the region's diverse museum landscape. Museums open their doors and offer visitors exciting guided tours, special insights behind the scenes and varied experiences for young and old. Whether culture, history or art: Museum Day in Zug is the ideal opportunity to experience museums in the region and discover fascinating stories up close.
A special highlight this year: a comfortable shuttle bus with 17 seats takes visitors from house to house in a relaxed manner - and makes the cultural journey of discovery through Zug as pleasant as it is inspiring. The shuttle timetable will be published here in mid-April.
