Description:
The collection at the Museum of Anthropology shows visitors how human beings have evolved from homo australopithecus to our present-day form. The Museum also houses early hominid fossils from Switzerland. Visitors can use interactive tools to explore the world of apes, the functions of the brain and the human skeleton.
