Rätisches Museum
The historical museum of the canton of Graubünden, housed in a 17th-century Baroque mansion, tells the story of mountain life from prehistory to modern times.
The museum occupies the Buol family mansion built in 1675. Its exhibits cover Graubünden's prehistoric archaeology, Roman-era finds, medieval religious art, mountain farming and domestic life, and Romansh culture. Its scale is moderate and its displays are clear, making it suitable for rainy days or for visitors who want to learn about local history. It is closed on Mondays. Admission costs about CHF 6, and it is free with a Swiss Travel Pass. It sits below the cathedral and can be visited along with the old town.
