Swiss Alpine Museum, Alpine heritage museum in Kirchenfeld, Switzerland.
The Swiss Alpine Museum displays more than 220,000 photographs and maintains a collection of mountain reliefs to document mountainous regions of Switzerland.
Founded in 1905 by the Bernese section of the Swiss Alpine Club, the museum relocated to its current building in Helvetiaplatz during 1934.
The museum examines the interactions between mountains, people, and nature through rotating exhibitions spanning 700 square meters across multiple floors.
