Historical Museum of Bern, History museum in Kirchenfeld, Switzerland
The Historical Museum of Bern spans multiple floors containing exhibitions about regional heritage, international artifacts, and scientific discoveries throughout the centuries.
Built in 1894 by architect André Lambert, the museum structure incorporates design elements from fifteenth and sixteenth-century castles across Switzerland.
The museum displays important regional artifacts, including the Muri statuette group of six Gallo-Roman bronze figures and items from Duke Charles the Bold's collection.
Located at Helvetiaplatz 5, the museum offers guided tours in multiple languages and maintains regular hours from Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 to 17:00.
The Moringen arrowhead, identified in 2023 as having meteoric origins, represents one of the extraordinary scientific specimens in the museum's collection.
