Kunsthalle Bern, Contemporary art museum in Bern, Switzerland
Kunsthalle Bern is an art museum in Switzerland presenting rotating exhibitions of international contemporary works. Multiple spacious galleries within its historic building showcase artworks from around the world.
The museum was founded in 1917 as one of Switzerland's earliest institutions devoted to showing and supporting modern art. It has since become a key venue for presenting contemporary artistic developments.
The museum presents art forms that artists are exploring today, from installations to video works and performances reflecting current artistic directions. The spaces welcome experimental works that often blur boundaries between different media.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 11 AM to 6 PM, and from 10 AM on weekends. Plan sufficient time to explore all areas, especially when major exhibitions are on display.
Rather than maintaining a permanent collection, the museum operates through continuous rotating exhibitions that change throughout the year. This approach ensures each visit may offer something different, as works and themes shift regularly.
