Interesting the extreme place

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!

Das ALPS Alpines Museum in Bern bietet einen faszinierenden Einblick in die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Bergwelt. Die aktuelle Hauptausstellung «Grönland. Alles wird anders» beleuchtet eindrucksvoll die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels und der Globalisierung auf die Arktis. Neben der Dauerausstellung gibt es im «Raum Biwak» spannende Fundstücke des Aaretauchers David Godio zu entdecken. Das «Fundbüro für Erinnerungen» lädt Besucher:innen ein, ihre eigenen Reparaturgeschichten zu teilen und mehr über die Nachhaltigkeit im Bergsport zu erfahren. Das Museum ist interaktiv, informativ und bietet für jedes Alter etwas. Ein Besuch lohnt sich für alle, die mehr über die Alpen und ihre Herausforderungen erfahren möchten.
