The history section contains three automata, marvels of ingenuity manufactured in the 18C. The museum also showcases the history of Neuchâtel since Antiquity. In the applied arts collection, look out for the remarkable Ruckers harpsichord and the Strubin collection, devoted to weapons, armour, helmets and uniforms.
