Under a glass dome next to the St. Mauritius Pfarrkirche, the Matterhorn museum is a surprisingly comprehensive look at Zermatt's history from the first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865 (and the four mountaineers who perished in an accident on the way back down) and the evolution of mountaineering to the present.
