The House of Museums in Olten accommodates the Olten Museum of Nature and the Olten Historical Museum, as well as the Archaeological Museum of the Canton of Solothurn. These three museums take visitors on an impressive journey into the past: through the archaeology within the canton of Solothurn, through the history of the city of Olten as well as the canton, and through the natural history and biodiversity at a region level.

In addition to its permanent exhibitions, the House of Museums also hosts temporary shows and even has its own cinema. Children and adults can enjoy various tours and other attractions. A wide range of events are also held over the course of the year.
