Johann Jacobs Museum

The Johann Jacobs Museum in Zurich is the home of the Digital Museum of Learning. A division of the Jacobs Foundation, the museum is dedicated to the global interdependencies of our life-world. These interdependencies become especially clear when tracing the history of important trade goods and their transport routes. Products such as coffee, cocoa, petroleum, opium, sugar, silk, watches and diamonds have had a hand in shaping our planet, impacting culture and revolutionizing society. The museum’s programs and events convey a broader understanding of these complex relationships.
