Bernisches Historisches Museum / Einstein Museum
The Bernisches Historisches Museum is one of the most important Museums of cultural history in Switzerland. Its collections of archaeology, history and ethnography include approximately 500,000 objects dating from the Stone Age to the present and representing cultures from all over the world. The hydria from Grächwil, the Burgundian tapestries, the diptych from Königsfelden and a series of ethnographical objects as well as coins and medals are all internationally renowned. Besides these, other highlights of the permanent exhibitions of the Bernisches Historisches Museum include spectacular Bernese sculptures, two Bernese mayoral thrones and much more. The integrated Einstein Museum offers an account of the life and work of the famous physicist and in a fascinating manner places it in the context of world history. Temporary exhibitions are regularly staged in the generously proportioned exhibition hall.
