The Natural History Museum is Bern’s oldest museum and is one of the leading nature museums in Switzerland. The exhibitions of native and exotic animals are unique in central Europe and enjoy an international reputation. However, impressive collections and historical discoveries are not the only thing the museum offers; it can also be booked for events. A total of three well-equipped and functional spaces are available.

And after an intensive day of seminars, how about enjoying adventurous aperitifs in one-of-a-kind surroundings? Or take a private guided tour through parts of the museum that usually remain hidden from the public? The Natural History Museum not only serves creative dishes prepared on site, it also offers individual tours of the museum. 

The Natural History Museum of Bern is one of the ten most beautiful event and party venues in Switzerland. This is not just an opinion – it was the decision of the expert jury of the Swiss Location Award 2019.
