The Ebianum is a museum of excavators and construction machines in the village of Fisibach, in the canton of Aargau in northern Switzerland. It belongs to Eberhard, a Swiss construction company, and opened in 2015 to celebrate the company’s 60th birthday. The museum tells the story of building machines over more than 100 years. It is a favourite place for children who love big machines, but adults also enjoy the history and the technology. The museum is only about 30 minutes by car from Zurich and 20 minutes from Zurich Airport.
What to See
The main hall shows historic excavators, bulldozers, trucks and other vehicles from different times. Many of them were really used on Swiss building sites. Short stories and an audio guide in English, German and French explain how people worked in the past. A big wall shows machine parts in a creative way. In the next hall, visitors can climb into some real machines and sit in the driver’s seat. Children can play in a large indoor playground with sand, toy diggers and slides. There is also an exhibition of model machines and a barefoot path. On some days you can even try to drive a real excavator at special events.
