Visit the Museum of the Swiss Cavalry Squadron 1972

The cavalry lives! - An extensive exhibition about the Swiss cavalry from 1848 to 1972 and the 1972 cavalry squadron awaits you in the Aarau Armory.

The exhibition includes numerous photos, images, clothing, equipment and audio material that the Swiss Cavalry Squadron Association collected, donated or received on loan in 1972. Numerous audio and video recordings relating to the cavalry have been specially prepared and summarized and can now be presented as short films during the exhibition. We would like to thank the lenders for the very important loans.
