Why go

The Swiss Museum of Transport, the Verkehrshaus der Schweiz at Haldenstrasse 44 in Lucerne, presents interactive exhibitions on travel, transport and energy with original vehicles from rail, road, air and water, together with an art exhibition by Hans Erni, according to its own site. The museum's home page presents the planetarium, the Filmtheatre and the Swiss Chocolate Adventure together with the exhibition, sells each as a separate ticket or together with the museum in a day pass, and says seats do not need to be reserved for the performances included in the day pass. Lucerne Tourism's page says the museum opened in 1959. This record is the museum, not its transport archive (Q29522411).
