A journey of discovery – a walk through stories of the ETH Zurich Archives
Themed guided tours and individual tour

Visit the historic rooms of ETH Zurich either independently using the site map available on campus or with one of our guides, and experience up close some of the history contained in the ETH Zurich Archives on a tour in and around the main building.
Themed guided tours
The tours on three different themes take around 45 minutes and end at one of the archives at ETH Zurich, where you will be greeted by experts and get to take a closer look at some of the original artefacts.
