Zunftstadt Zürich

Zunftstadt Zürich is an audiovisual exhibition in Zurich, Switzerland, that tells the history of the guild system in the city from 1336 to 1798 and into the modern era. Visitors can visit the reception hall of a guild member, take a boat trip into a past time, and experience moving images of Zurich's history.
