Alpine Museum of Switzerland

The best museum I have ever been to. The branding is excellent, all the posters, postcards, magazines. They get it. The exhibitions were so insightful, and a special mention to the lost and found collection, a really unique interesting room that also allows you to craft your own repair kits for free. Loved the alps sticker I got too! My favourite place in Bern!

Extremely unfriendly receptionist. She didn’t take the time to explain anything about the museum. We went to the exhibition about Greenland, and because of the lack of explanation we ended up in an exhibition about the alps we were not interested at all. I was expecting more from Swiss hospitality. I do not put one star because the museum seams nice. My problem is with the staff.

Admittedly, this review is only for the current exhibition about Alpine crafts. There are one or two good Interactive exhibits but on the whole I felt that I had paid admission to see a product display from Swiss manufacturers.

Unfortunately, extremely underwhelming giving the bold name and steep price. This 'alpine museum' has a rather large restaurant, a large rotating exhibition hall, and a smaller exhibition room that was closed when I visited. The museum does not feature exhibits on traditional Alpine culture, sports, or development over the years . The temporary exhibition present was alright, but I read through every plaque and was complete within 20 minutes. For 18 CHF it's a bit of a waste of money - You're better off going across the road and paying the same amount to visit the outstanding Historical Museum of Bern, which has enough to keep you occupied for at least 2 hours.

We just visited the Einstein museum and this museum was across the street. We had the Swiss Travel Pass and the entrance to this museum is free. It is a small museum and display of Alpine related info. There was a special exhibition from North Korea which was interesting especially hearing the “scripted” positive remarks of the people and praising their leader.

Real miniature places. Gives the impression you are in the Alps. Organized in 3 spaces. A wonderful- supportive staff.

6 CHF admission fee for the raclette exhibition is a joke. One small room with few posters, printed photos and a couple of dairy artifacts that you can find on any farm.

"Echo: The Mountain Calls Back" is a quiet yet powerful exhibition. I enjoyed every bit of it. Absolutely a five-star exhibition; the museum itself is a five-star place to be in as well.
