Difficult to enjoy when information is provided only in German. Do yourself a favour and go to the history museum in Zurich instead. Half the price, better information, more to see....

Small but interesting museum. We specifically went for the Klimt exhibition which was rather disappointing, as it featured one painting by Klimt and then a whole lot if other stuff we didn't understand as it was all in German. Not the museum's fault of course, but we did love the one Klimt painting of a flowering garden.

One of the most unique museums I've been. A wide range of interesting exhibition with both historical and contemporary items, illustrating both local and foreign cultures, with quite some interactive items. We spent several hours in this museum, and all of us are impressed by the fun and enlightening experience.

This museum, besides being located in a lovely park, provides an regularly changing offer of insightful, historic exhibitions. Worth ones time, whenever one wishes to leran more about St. Gallen and its history.

I cannot imagine how big this museum is until I spent 2 hours in it and didn't have the chance to look at each item yet. You should spend half of your day here looking at the exhibitions of biology, culture and art.

Excellent museum which gives a good overview of many periods. Some very good history local St. Gallen history, from prehistoric period until the 19th and 20th centuries. Everything is well explained in German. I particularly liked the exhibit on the plight of the Native Americans.

The only downside is that the exhibit contains artefacts from other continents and peoples and I suspect not all of these were acquired in a fair and just way. But I did not research this, I simply know it to be the case with many anthropological and historical exhibits with items from Latin American, African, and Asian peoples.

Open Thu-Su 10-17, Entry fee 12 CHF adults, 6 CHF students, kids & teenager to 18 years free.

Most important collection of eastern Switzerland, a focus is history of St.Gallen.

Lots to see and learn. The Mummenschanz exhibit was a pleasant surprise!
