22- Museum of Communication

What a great museum. Huge. Everything is interactive and something for all ages 2-100. We loved the Dance section was so much fun!! This place is way bigger than it looks. Loved it

It's a must-visit in Bern! The exhibit, the activities and engagements are all so interesting. It's a place meant to be experienced.

I thought this was really good, my children (7 & 9) seemed to enjoy it and loads of activities to do. Really highlights how communication has evolved but also what we can do going forward. We attended free as Bern are allowing entry to certain museums for free during August. We went on the morning but when we left, there was queues. I liked the fact that a locker was provided so you could walk around without rucksacks, etc.

We have visited this museum when our kids were 4; they liked it then but they especially found it interesting now. There were certain hits, like sending messages via letter shoot, sorting letters instead of the machine, making stamps with your own picture that you can actually use to send letters in Switzerland, playing some games like Multitasking and Hacking, figuring out how to actually use a telephone 😁 (that one was a stumper, especially when I kept saying “hang up” and they had no idea what hanging up meant 😜!) The kids didn’t think the current exhibition called Nothing is interesting, but I certainly did. It is an excellent exhibition showing how nothing is always actually something. We stayed for a couple of hours but we could have stayed more but the place was packed with school children and it was a bit tricky getting around. Probably the best time to visit is not during rainy days, but once it’s sunny and nice. Then you get the museum all to yourself and you can try and do whatever your heart desires. The stations are not in any order so you can do them however you want, but the ground level seems to be the most interesting for children. Downstairs there are stamp collections from the entire world and upstairs is the Nothing exhibition. I found something interesting on each level and I’d surely go again. What could improve the experience is if maybe there would be some order or suggestion of what to see first (this for the adults, not for the kids) but I know I could have used maybe some guidance as to what to do first. But it’s a cool place, there is something for everyone and we like it

Absolutely deserves 5 stars. Very interactive, modern, big enough to keep attention going but not too big. Children loved it, adults enjoyed it too.

Interesting place. Staff were very friendly. There was lots of interactive activities, free stamp with my face on it was great. The only downside is that it seems more of a kids play area than a museum, there’s just kids screaming and running around everywhere. I’d probs do the same if I was 7 though so fair play.

We had a great time. Children and young people can also have fun and learn.

An amazing place that requires time and is more enjoyable in a group or family. Lot of interactive games and a lot to learn. A must in Bern. As we were visiting there was a temporary exhibition on Climate Change which also requires a visit
