Throughout 2015, the Swiss National Museum is reappraising three dates in Swiss history in the light of recent research: 1315 at the Forum of Swiss History in Schwyz, 1515 at the National Museum in Zurich, and 1815 at Château de Prangins.

As part of this reappraisal, the Swiss National Museum – Château de Prangins is presenting a new temporary exhibition entitled “Switzerland reshaped. From Napoleon to the Congress of Vienna”. Running from 13 March to 13 September 2015, the exhibition is using innovative and original materials such as vox pops and specially recorded interviews with historians, to explore the creation of a new Switzerland at the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815). It also links to issues of contemporary relevance, such as the meaning of neutrality and independence for a Switzerland at the heart of Europe.
