7 Specialty Museums in Bern That You Shouldn't Miss

March 12, 2022 Kelli Reichel

A powerful force since medieval times, the thriving Swiss capital is an appealing city of museums and collections. Bernmobil is the capital's transit service. A BernCard is valid on trams and buses that serve the city. A free bike service is also an option for getting around. The Historical Museum and the Collection of the Bern Museum of Fine Arts house the art and architecture of millennia. The Einstein House and the Paul Klee Center showcase the work of two of Bern's famous former inhabitants.

Museum of Communication

The Apple1, chips under the skin or an original escape vehicle of a century old? The Museum for Communication takes a close look at interpersonal communication in all its forms. Direct, personal and individual: in addition to interactive stations, surprising objects and large-format video screens, flesh and blood people also convey the fascination of the world of communication. For this innovative invention, the museum received the renowned European Council Museum Prize in 2019. The museum combines content and experience in a playful way - and is therefore interesting for all age groups. Thanks to a discovery trail for children, it is ideal for families.

Zentrum Paul Klee (Paul Klee Center)

Reviewed By breggie

Warm and helpful staff; great pamphlets in English. Klee was prolific so there is a ton of art to view. Building itself Is worth the visit. Then exchange your Museum Lot parking ticket inside for an all Day 7F one good until midnight; then take the convenient #12 bus to old Town for your visit there, easy to then get it right back to the lot!
