Museumsbier (beer at the museum)
It’s a shame, really: on weekdays, cultural institutions are usually only open when people are working. Thanks to the Museumsbier (beer at the museum) event series, you can now combine after-work beers with a visit to the museum.
Implementation dates
It’s that time again: From 22 January to 12 March 2026, cultural institutions will extend their opening hours every Thursday evening, set up a bar and invite guests to enjoy the Museumsbier from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
The Braukunst brewery has created a special Museumsbier beer again, which is perfect for fans of Lager.
The Museumsbier has become a tradition in the city of Bern. And once again, a museum from the Emmental will also be participating: you can go for beer and culture at Burgdorf Castle from 19 February. The Bernese Oberland is also part of the series – with the Art Museum Thun participating until 26 February 2026. The following eight institutions are part of the event series:
- Alps, swiss alpine museum
- Collection of Classical Antiquities Bern
- Botanical Gardens
- Bern History Museum
- Museum of Communication
- Natural History Museum Bern
- Burgdorf Castle (starting 19 February 2026)
- Art museum Thun (until 26 February 2026)
All exhibitions are open:
