Museum Schaffen is the historical museum of the city of Winterthur. It is supported by the Historical Association Winterthur (HVW), which is dedicated to preserving and promoting the city's rich history. The museum focuses on the theme of work in history, present, and future, particularly from the perspective of the city's history.
Location in Former Industrial Halls
Since 2017, Museum Schaffen has been located in former industrial halls in Lokstadt. This area is the center of the former "worker's city" Winterthur, which was shaped by heavy industry and mechanical production processes for more than 100 years. This location provides a unique backdrop for the museum's focus on the history and future of work.
