Speedy Sledges

13 November 2010 to 13 March 2011

A Winter Landscape in the Museum
In Central Switzerland, home of the famous former bob racer Martin Annen and the spectacular so-called «Horämämel Rennen» (a downhill race for hay sledges), sledges and sledging look back on a long tradition. The exhibition «Speedy Sledges» presents in an enchanted winter landscape historic figure sledges featuring charming animal motives, very basic and squat single-seaters (so-called «Füdlitrucke») as well as fast toboggans. Selected films take the viewer on pleasurable and swift sledge rides and also explain how sledges were used as a means of transport in earlier days.
