Henry Dunant Museum, Biographical museum in Heiden, Switzerland.

The Henry Dunant Museum occupies four rooms in the former district hospital building, displaying documents, photographs, and personal items of the Red Cross founder.

The museum opened in 1969 in a former X-ray room of the Heiden district hospital, where Henry Dunant spent his final 18 years until 1910.

The exhibitions connect the founding principles of the Red Cross movement to current global humanitarian challenges through multimedia presentations and artifact displays.

Located at Asylstrasse 2 in Heiden, the museum welcomes visitors daily from 11 AM to 4 PM and offers guided tours in multiple languages.

The museum houses one of only five Nagasaki Peace Bells in existence, which survived the atomic bombing and rings on significant occasions.
