Bernisches Historisches Museum
In its permanent exhibition, the Bernisches Historisches Museum shows highlights from the fields of history, prehistory, early history and ethnography. The objects on display range from the Stone Age to the present, from cultures of all continents.
The integrated Einstein Museum presents a powerful presentation of the life and work of Albert Einstein and places it in the context of world history. Animated films and experiments illustrate the pioneering theories of this genius.
The temporary exhibition hall's 1,200 square meters of space are used to present innovative, changing shows that deal with cultural, historical, prehistoric or ethnographic subjects on a revolving basis.

The Bernisches Historisches Museum presents its collection through a diverse, multi-media approach.
An AudioGuide in nine languages as well as an induction headset and a VideoGuide for deaf and hearing-impaired persons makes the Einstein Museum accessible to a wide audience.
The Kubus addition, completed in 2009, is a perfect architectonic complement to the Museum Park. Its modern form and materials make an exciting counterpoint to the historical style of the adjacent 1894 castle.
