Museum Statistics 2021 Swiss museums: once again more than 10 million admissions in 2021 - 40% of staff volunteers

08.11.2022 - Swiss museums came back to life in 2021 after the major waves of COVID-19, but without reaching pre-pandemic levels. Almost all indicators of museum activity in Switzerland increased compared with the previous year: the number of events rose by 77%, the number of guided tours by 44% and the number of admissions by 26%. Included for the first time in the survey, figures on museum staff reveal the importance of volunteers, who were used by almost two-thirds of museums. These are some of the latest findings from the Swiss Museum Statistics from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

You can find further information in the press releases in German, French and Italian. The English version only contains the lead of the press release.
