You wont find references to this on any swiss tourist guides but there is a great tank museum the the town of Thun in central Switzerland. Its actually within an active army base but it is open to the public. On arrival at the gate, you will have to leave your passport for security and you will be escorted to the display by a soldier. I visited the display recently and found the staff to be very helpful.
They have about thirty vehicles, Panther, Sherman, T34, Jagdpanther, Panzer IV, Centurion, Hetzer, Flakpanzer 68, Centurion bridgelayer, T54, various MICVs and much more. They also have a king tiger but it is currently off site for restoration - to full running condition!
You can find out more at www.armeemuseum.ch or just google Panzermuseum Thun.
well worth a look
