Where you are spoilt for choice.

Culture has a long tradition in Winterthur. The city boasts 16 museums, including the Oskar Reinhart collection "Am Römerholz" with its masterpieces of European art from the 14th to the 20th century and the Fotomuseum, both internationally renowned.

The Casinotheater Winterthur has become a centre of German-language comedy art, the Swiss Science Center Technorama makes technology and science an accessible experience for young and old.

The extremely diverse cultural agenda also comprises a series of festivals – Afro-Pfingsten at Whitsun, Winterthurer Musikfestwochen in August and the International Short Film Festival in November. Just as the musicals staged at City Halle and the traditional procession of the town’s technology college graduates, these events attract thousands of people, many of them from afar. Add to this the regular fare of exhibitions, films, concerts, readings, theatre and dance performances of all kinds – it soon becomes obvious that Winterthur’s residents are spoilt for choice when it comes to arts and culture.
