More than one hundred centuries-old buildings from all over Switzerland, 200 farmyard animals, traditional, old-time gardens and fields, demonstrations of local crafts and many special events create a vivid impression of rural life in days gone by. Ballenberg is indeed unique.

We had friends visiting and this was a great day out. The setting alone is fantastic and they loved the proximity to the Alps and the views to be had. The museum was great. Everything was available in four languages (German, French, Italian and English). There are plenty of interactive exhibits for the children and the staff were all helpful and friendly. There were lots of picnic areas so it would be easy to make a full day of it with older kids. There is a lot of walking, so for our small kids a half-day was enough for them.

The Bernisches Historisches Museum is one of the most important museums of cultural history in Switzerland. The 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 Graechwil, 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 include the spectacular Bernese sculptures, two Bernese mayoral thrones and much more. The integrated Einstein Museum offers an account of the life and work of the physicist and places it in a fascinating manner in the context of world history. Temporary exhibitions are regularly staged in the generously proportioned exhibition hall.

The museum has many floors - the 2nd floor talks about Einstein and his life history. The others included a section about Bern's importance in the 20th century, Bern in medieval times, a section about Native Americans , Egyptians and a section about old statues from the reformation era. The Einstein floor is the main attraction and goes into detail about his life. Being an avid science enthusiast, I was fairly familiar with his life, but there were lots of interesting details which I did not know. Apart from this, the museum felt like a collection of arbitrary topics. Overall can spend a few hours here especially on a rainy day.

Popular in Bern - observed in the whole world. The Natural History Museum Bern was officially founded in 1832. In 1936 it moved into a new building in Bernastrasse deemed an excellent example of the “Neue Sachlichkeit“ style. The building was extended in 1998. The museum has 5100 square metres of exhibition space and an international reputation founded initially on its historical dioramas. Aside from Barry, the NMBE is famous for housing the giant Planggenstock crystals and for outstanding contemporary exhibitions such as «Apocalypse - End without End». The museum's collection contains around 6.5 million objects. The Naturhistorisches Museum Bern is also a place of research conducted by the 22 scientists responsible for the collections, and functions as a venue for cultural events - most recently the “Help, it's alive!“ series and the “Dead animal bar“

Went up to Bern with the young toddler for a few hours to see the dinosaur exhibition in the Museum as the lad is obsessed with anything prehistoric. Got a tram from near the train station, was not too long of a trip, 4 stops and dropped off at the main History Museum. The Natural History Museum is around the corner and to the side. Was well chuffed to only pay 10 Swiss Francs, and of course the lad was free entry. Went straight to the dino section and naturally the young fella was immediately captivated. Some very big dinosaur exhibits on display, all moving and all scary looking. Very good effort and we were well impressed. We ventured around and saw the rest of the main collections of animals from different regions, the animal fossils, the minerals and rocks section, and a nice surprise to see the famous Barry, the original "St. Bernard" dog so loved in Switzerland. Even though the place was absolutely packed with young kids, (which was a surprise for an October Thursday!) it was still relatively easy to see all the exhibits and get some good photos as everything is well laid out and there is plenty of room to get and see everything. In fact the dinosaur set up was so impressive we decided to have another look before we headed home. Loved the museum and will be back for sure. A lot to see, and the exhibits are very well presented. I think the Dinosaur exhibition is only temporary so I recommend to anyone to get there before it goes as its very impressive. 10/10

We spent a very pleasant hour or so viewing this beautiful work. It is a marvel given the size of the painting and when it was done and the patience and dedication of the artist is truly inspiring. A must see. Highly recommended.
