ETH in Zurich is beautiful

If you’re looking for another very interesting and FREE thing to do in Zurich, consider visiting the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH). Here, you can explore a unique piece of history—Albert Einstein’s old locker, which has been transformed into a small museum on campus. Albert Einstein studied at ETH Zurich between 1896 and 1900 and later returned as a professor in 1912. The locker, located in the main building, is now a tribute to his time at the university. It has been preserved to offer a glimpse into the life of one of the greatest scientific minds in history. Within this small exhibition, you’ll find photos, documents, and information related to his studies, theories and achievements. It serves as a reminder of Einstein’s connection to Zurich and his contributions to the world of science.
