BergeBeben! An earthquake exhibition in Vättis

On 12 August 2017, an exhibition entitled "BergeBeben! - Erdbeben und Gebirgsbildung" (MountainQuakes! Earthquakes and Mountain Building) will open in Vättis. In the heart of the Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona UNESCO World Heritage Site, the exhibition will invite visitors to learn about the links between earthquakes and the formation of the Alps.

In addition to local earthquakes and the effects of potential larger earthquakes in the region, the exhibition will also take an overall look at Switzerland as an earthquake country. To this end, parts of the exhibition "'unforeSeeable – Earthquakes in Switzerland", mounted by the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich to mark its centenary, will again be put on public display.

The exhibition will run from August to November and be open between 08:00 and 20:00. Guided tours for groups and visits between December and March will be available on request.
