The Swiss National Museum (German: Landesmuseum) is a museum in Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, adjacent to Central Station and the Platzspitz park. It is part of the Musée Suisse Group, which is itself affiliated with the Federal Office of Culture .

The museum building of 1898 in the historicist style was built by Gustav Gull in the form of the French Renaissance city chateaus. His impressive architecture with dozens of towers, courts and his astonishing park on a peninsula between the rivers Sihl and Limmat has become one of the main sights of the Old Town district of Zurich. Its inauguration was filmed by François-Henri Lavanchy-Clarke, the first non-french concessionary of the Lumière brothers.

The exhibition tour takes the visitor from prehistory through ancient times and the Middle Ages to the 20th century (classic modern art and art of the 16th, 17th and 18th century is settled mainly in the Kunsthaus Zürich in a different part of the city).
