Public guided tour of the special exhibition “Liechtenstein’s Economy”

Today, Liechtenstein is one of the most highly industrialized countries in the world. Its financial center is internationally connected. The number of jobs far exceeds the number of residents. It is hard to imagine today that, until the mid-20th century, the country was predominantly agricultural. The economic transformation since World War II has been rapid and profound.

This special exhibition traces this extraordinary development. It sheds light on the processes of economic upheaval and focuses on the people who experienced and helped shape this structural transformation—amid the tensions of new beginnings, decision-making, and responsibility. Their memories, documented on film, offer a personal perspective on economic history and reveal how economic development arises from the realities of life, collective effort, and a touch of luck.
