Our Shadow Boxes come with high quality reproductions of historical documents about the bank, its building and vault. We have been granted access to all relevant local archives and found original engineering plans and architectural drawings of the bank building as it was built in 1923. You will find them in two gilded wood frames inside the shadow boxes with a beautiful eggshell hand-cut mat.

The inside of the UBS building has been entirely destroyed in 2005 and nothing remains today of this legendary vault. We have absolutely no information about the security arrangements in the old vault although we would definitely trust it with our life's savings.
