The Natural History Museum of Bern offers an immersive journey into Switzerland's natural heritage. Its most striking feature is the series of meticulously crafted dioramas depicting Swiss wildlife in their native habitats, from alpine ibex on rocky crags to beavers in woodland streams. These life-like scenes, created over decades, provide an intimate look at the country's fauna. The museum also houses one of the world's most significant meteorite collections, including the famous Twannberg meteorite fragments.
