A fantastic exhibition, meticulously planned, and very well organized. The exhibition, leads you from the quirky discovery of the Warriors in 1974 by farmers digging, back through the history of China, to understand why Qin was such a powerful first Emperor, and then onto the fantastic Terracotta Warriors themselves. It is a pleasure to go and see because of the... More

We went there for the exhibition of the terracotta warriors from China. It was full of people but the organisation was very good as is in any Swiss museum. The only fault was maybe that it was not very clear where to go next. We almost missed to see the actual warriors. The building of the museum is very pretty,... More

This is a phantastic exhibition about the first emperor of China and its famous army of clay soldiers. Eight original figures from China are on exhibit. The rest of the Museum is also very worthwhile. Plan half a day for this Museum.

The Qin exhibition was good. The Audio guide added some extra information and was worth the 5 CHF. The service in the restaurant has improved slightly from that given by a previous reviewer. waiting time is now down to about 30 minutes! Unfortunately the museum has not thought its organisation through properly. We planned to visit the exhibition, have lunch... More

We opted to skip the audio guides and just browse and read the information as we went. There are some interesting videos throughout the exhibit that show how the terracotta army... More

Tickets are easily booked on line , with a system of viewing times that ensure... More

If you have a few time of your own in Bern between 10 AM and 4 PM, and ask yourself what to visit, don't miss the Einstein Museum in the Historical Museum building, Helvetia Place, at the second floor: http://www.bhm.ch/en/exhibitions/einstein-museum/. You need at least one hour, better two or three. Anything else in Bern can be postponed for another visit.... More

Great museum with mountains of exhibits and was also housing the Einstein Museum while it was being refurbished. Exhibits are based around Bernese and Swiss history from the beginning of time, early historical, Roman, Medieval, modern. Great intro to Swiss and Bern history and filled with amazing artefacts.

Did you know that Nescafe was swiss? me either... this is one of the best museums I have ever been, it is very good to see the different aspects of switzerland's history, and you can also browse nice rooms about cultures like the american Indian , and the Polynesia. Just to finish you can travel through the Einstein's life and... More
