My Dutch-Swiss freind "Guisan" shared some of the pictures he took there with me and gave his Ok to post them.

Very interesting stuff and layouts.

While these are interesting pictures, they're not from the Lucerne gunshow.

But where were the pictures taken?

Who knows the story on this picture I took of a Lucerne memorial?

Found it a very moving memorial to say the least.

Great memorial, very touching. And one of the few ones built for the many hundredthousands of swiss soldiers who fought abroad for foreign kings and countries (and for money).

@Diopter: that's a very good idea, the SIG-collection is indeed very interesting, especially since the two former head-engineers of the 550-project do the guided tours.

Now that Guisan has done with his mandatory yearly April's fool's jokes, here is the real story about this Museum in Thun.

The tour next March is not a joke. That is for real.

I don't think I could go. I'd want to tough everything.
