The museum (Bernisches Historisches Museum) houses one of the country’s most important ethnographic collections together with the Bernese historical artefacts from prehistory to the present day. The museum’s holdings comprise some 250,000 objects.
The Burgundian tapestries, the Königsfeld Diptych, the bronze hydria from Grächwil, as well as a series of ethnographic and numismatic collections, enjoy international fame.
The historical collection is an ideal key to the history of Bern, a city that was once the most powerful city-state north of the Alps.
Impressions from the Museum
The Einstein Museum
The Einstein Museum presents the life and publications of the genius physicist in all their facets. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was living, writing and lecturing in Bern when he turned the ideas of space and time upside down with his theory of relativity in 1905. The Einstein Museum is integrated into the Bernisches Historisches Museum.
