Swiss Museum of Stained Glass and Glass Art
La Suisse sur verre
From 1953 onwards for almost half a century, swisstopo engraved its original maps in a coat of colour enamel on glass plates. The desire for balancing absolute precision with a manageable workload shaped the approach of technicians and decision-makers.
The joint exhibition by the Vitromusée Romont and the Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo) presents the history of this last cartographic craft through numerous engraved glass plates and instruments.
