The Olten Historical Museum documents the history of the city of Olten and the canton of Solothurn with its collection, exhibition projects and events. Large collections include the history of photography and the activities of locally producing and globally exporting industrial companies. Since 2019, the Historical Museum has formed the "House of Museums" with the Solothurn Archaeological Museum and the Olten Nature Museum. In the new permanent exhibition "Olten - please all get out", the history of Olten and its region can be explored in thematic chapters and at numerous media and interactive stations. Museum staff teach the public their craft directly in the history workshop. The Historical Museum Olten develops special exhibitions independently or together with its partners in the House of Museums. As part of its events, it becomes a platform for people in the region.
