The radiators have developed their own craft. The Swiss Radiation Museum is dedicated to this ancient craft in the Swiss mountains.
You can get to the Swiss Radiation Museum through the tunnels of the old Naters fortress. Even the way there is more than worth seeing. Once you have arrived at the museum, you will find unique finds from the radiators, as well as information worth knowing about the craft, the history and the passion of the Swiss radiators. The highlight of the museum is the specially produced film, which you can watch in a multifunctional cinema room.
The Swiss Radiation Museum can also be visited virtually. A visit is definitely worthwhile. You can move freely around the museum as if you were there for real. In addition, you can watch videos during your visit, which provide you with a lot of information, just like a real guided tour. Admission costs CHF 4.00. Here is the link:
