The Grenchen Cultural-Historical Museum tells the story of industrialization and its consequences using the town and region of Grenchen as an example. The modernly designed overall exhibition "From farming village to industrial town" is dedicated to the history of industrialization in six thematic areas. The focus is on how people lived and worked in industry and its effects on everyday life. A temporal focus is the fifties of the 20th century, the "Golden Age" of Grenchen's watch industry. Once a year, a thematic area is renewed with a special exhibition, so that the exhibition changes regularly and offers visitors something new to discover.
