The Museum Quarter guides you through a vibrant universe. It tells stories, acts as a storage facility for cultural goods and stages exhibitions and events. It is where learning is fun, education is entertaining, and art is experienced first-hand. The quarter is not just a place to visit, but a world full of adventure, encounters and inspiration that invites you to participate – again and again. With more than 500,000 visitors annually, it is the largest cultural area anywhere in Switzerland.
Located in the heart of Bern, its museum gardens also offer a place of calm to retreat to and relax surrounded by historical buildings and contemporary architecture. A place where you can feel at ease and let yourself be enchanted. No matter how far you have travelled to be here.
The Museum Quarter in Bern is a group of eleven institutions that are proud to be part of a vibrant network. The special aspect of the Bern project is that it is not determined by external factors but continues to develop organically out of the initiative and collaboration between all the institutions involved.
The eleven institutions:
- Swiss Alpine Museum
- Bernisches Historisches Museum
- Gymnasium Kirchenfeld
- Kunsthalle Bern
- Museum of Communication
- Natural History Museum Bern
- Bern University of Teacher Education, Institute of Advanced Training and Media Education
