SRF NewsState / PublicCenterFactual 85Objective 758/29/2026The Bellpark Museum in Kriens, Switzerland, is hosting an exhibition that reevaluates the image of Swiss agglomerations, areas often seen as unremarkable or aesthetically unpleasing. These regions, which make up 74% of Switzerland's population, have historically been overlooked compared to core cities. The exhibition features black-and-white photographs from the ISOS inventory, created between 1973 and 1981, highlighting communities like Kriens, Horw, and Emmen. The display aims to challenge the perception of these areas as 'places without special location qualities' by showcasing their historical development and cultural significance. The museum curator, Hilar Stadler, emphasizes the need to reassess these often-marginalized regions.

The move highlights growing concerns among Swiss financial institutions about maintaining competitiveness in a globalized economy where tax regulations vary significantly between countries. While the article does not specify which country the bank is relocating to, it emphasizes the implications of such decisions for Switzerland’s financial sector and its reputation as a hub for wealth management.
