Sunday, May 17 is Museum Day. On this day, children can learn about the history of the Swiss and Schwyz flags and design their own coat of arms at the Museum of the Swiss Charters of Confederation.
On this year's Museum Day, families have the opportunity to discover the Swiss and Schwyz flags in the Museum of the Swiss Charters of Confederation and find out why, although both have a white cross on a red background, they have a completely different origin.
In a flag workshop, all children can design their own coat of arms and paint it on a fabric rucksack. The museum's collection of flags is shown in short guided tours and the practical function and symbolic significance of flags and coats of arms since the Middle Ages is explained.
The studio is open from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the short guided tours take place at 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m..
