Musée d'histoire du Valais / Geschichtsmuseum, Château de Valère, 1950 Sion
Permanent exhibition
The Museum of History offers an innovative, transdisciplinary look at the cultural history of the Valais region, with a completely revamped itinerary spanning twenty-five rooms and a new museography.
More than a thousand objects, models and drawings provide an insight into this history, from the hunter-gatherers of the Palaeolithic to the industrial upheavals of the 19th century, from the medieval splendour of the prince-bishop to the rich history of the foreign service. Thanks to a transversal and synthetic reading of history around certain major themes, placed as a filigree of the chronological journey, the visitor comes down from Valère with the keys to understanding what has shaped the Valais of today, in its cultural framework of course, but also in its natural environment and in the European geopolitical context.
In 2022, the permanent exhibition will be given a facelift with the opening of a new room devoted entirely to the theme of tourism.
With chairlifts, pairs of skis and snowboards by champions (Amélie Wenger-Reymond, Roland Collombin, Jonas Emery), come and discover several acquisitions specially made by the Museum, and learn more about a key aspect of the history of the canton of Valais.
