Matterhorn Museum
Museums / Galleries, Zermatt
Fodor's Review:
To get a sense of life in this high-altitude region and climber's risks, visit the Matterhorn Museum, a sunken village of chalets, mazots, and dwellings depicted as an archaeological site, which visitors walk through, experiencing different periods of time along the way. The personal accounts of local docents liven up the displays of antiquated equipment, clothing, and historical documents about those who lived and climbed here. There is a farmer's cottage, hotel, and church interior, plus stuffed and mounted animals. A multimedia film takes you atop the Matterhorn for dramatic climate changes; an Internet center enables you to research questions on your own.
